ID S1298

Amends Section 50-1301 and Section 55-1902 of Idaho Code to revise the definition of "basis of bearing" for land surveys and plats.

Expands the basis of bearing definition to include a description of the bearing system used, including complete citation of the datum, epoch, and name of the published projection that must be shown on the survey.

Requires that if a custom projection is used, the datum, epoch, and defining parameters sufficient to replicate the bearing system must also be shown on the survey.

Mandates that for surveys where the bearing system is shown in accordance with these requirements, the convergence angle computed at a minimum of one monument on the survey must be shown.

Declares an emergency and makes the act effective July 1, 2024.
