S1079 Summary

• Revises plat requirements to allow preparation using photographic processes, ink jet/digital scanning, or fused toner on stable base drafting film instead of requiring only silver image emulsion, while maintaining archival permanence and reproducibility standards.

• Modifies engineer intern and land surveyor intern certification requirements to require passage of fundamentals examinations and graduation from approved programs, with options for related science degrees and advanced degrees, rather than requiring graduation prior to examination eligibility.

• Clarifies examination failure procedures by specifying that candidates failing professional engineering or professional land surveying examinations must obtain additional experience and college credits before reassignment to subsequent examinations.

• Updates monumentation penalties by broadening the definition of protected monuments to include those set by professional land surveyors or government agents, maintaining the $1,500 maximum penalty per offense.

• Standardizes record of survey requirements by replacing obsolete language, clarifying that corner records should reference "the most current" related records, and requiring consistency with plat media and reproduction standards specified in Section 50-1304.
