HB 6397 Summary

• Amends the Land Division Act to change how public notice is given when an assessor's plat is filed with a local government clerk.

• For plats filed before January 1, 2022, requires notice by publication in a newspaper for 3 successive weeks; for plats filed on or after January 1, 2022, requires notice be posted according to the local government public notice act.

• Clarifies that a surveyor must file the assessor's plat (rather than the plat being filed) and must obtain a certificate from the county road commission before filing a plat in unincorporated areas.

• Provides a 30-day period during which any person or public body with interest in affected lands may bring an action to correct the plat before the governing body approves it.

• Contains an enacting clause making the bill effective only if Senate Bill No. ____ or House Bill No. 6440 is enacted into law.
