Survey Modernization Bill
Table of legislative issues
This page contains information on the various legislative issues currently being debated.  On some of the issues WSLS has taken an official position.  On others WSLS has not taken a position because the issue may effect our membership in different ways so there is no one right answer.  WSLS encourages all its members to get involved in the legislative process.  There is a table of the bills WSLS Legislative Committee is watching.  If you know of a bill that effects land records and land surveyors, please forward that information.  The limks below are to help you make contacts with your legislators easier.

Survey Modernization Bill
AB 271 as amended was not scheduled for a vote on the Senate floor before it adjourned on April 22, 2010.  WSLS  would like to thank Senator Fred Risser for sponsoring the bill and all his and his staff's efforts to pass the bill in the Senate.  Thank you Senator Risser.

WSLS would like to extend a special thanks to Representative Fred Clark and his staff  for their efforts in getting AB 271 passed in the Assembly.  Representative Clark spent countless hours meeting with the parties who had concerns, crafting language  to answer all the concerns and representing Professional Land Surveyors in this effort.  He held face to face meetings, conference calls and email discussions to make sure everyone's voice was heard.  I'm sure he learned more about land surveying then he really wanted to know.  It is a complicated profession that he did a great job learning learning about and then representing.  He did the bulk of the lifting on this bill and did a great job.  Thank you Representative Clark.  

WSLS would also like to thank Representative Kelda Helen Roys for co-sponsoring the bill as well as participating in face to face meetings.  She too took an active part in the complicated process of resolving the concerns of the interested parties.  Thank you Representative Roys.
