AB 1063, as introduced, Eggman. Record of survey: additional information.
Existing law provides for the licensing and regulation of professional engineers and land surveyors by the Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors in the Department of Consumer Affairs. Existing law provides for the filing of a record of survey by licensed surveyor or licensed civil engineer with the county surveyor.
This bill would authorize a licensed surveyor to include additional information to be filed simultaneously, as a separate document, as specified, with a record of survey.
Existing law requires any monument set by a licensed land surveyor or registered civil engineer to mark or reference a point on a property or land line shall be permanently and visibly marked or tagged with the certificate number of the surveyor or civil engineer setting it, as specified, or if the monument is set by a public agency, to be marked with the name of the agency and the political subdivision it serves.
This bill would require the monument to be marked by the surveyor or civil engineer, as specified, and to be marked with the name of the agency and the political subdivision it serves, if the monument is set by a public agency.
By imposing additional duties on public agencies, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes.
