TO APPROVE REGULATIONS OF THE BOARD OF REGISTRATION FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS AND LAND SURVEYORS, RELATING TO ARTICLE 4, MINIMUM STANDARDS MANUAL FOR PRACTICE OF LAND SURVEYING IN SOUTH CAROLINA, DESIGNATED AS REGULATION DOCUMENT NUMBER 1338, PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 1, CHAPTER 23, TITLE 1 OF THE 1976 CODE.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. The regulations of the Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors, relating to Article 4, Minimum Standards Manual for Practice of Land Surveying in South Carolina, designated as Regulation Document Number 1338, and submitted to the General Assembly pursuant to the provisions of Article 1, Chapter 23, Title 1 of the 1976 Code, are approved.
SECTION 2. This joint resolution takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
These amendments will revise and add clarification to existing regulations regarding minimum standards for the practice of land surveying in South Carolina. The clarifications will assist land surveyors in meeting the needs of the public so that surveyed properties can be readily understood and will assist others who deal with real property such as those in legal, banking, and real estate professions. Classifications of surveys and required standards for different types of surveys are more accurately defined. Additional information is provided for methods of marking property boundaries, also proper certifications for maps and plats. Additional abbreviations and symbols which are acceptable for use by land surveyors have been added. The proposed regulations will also assist clerks of court in various counties in South Carolina in receiving and accepting for recordation maps that are in compliance with appropriate standards and statutory requirements.
