MS HB1514

Amends Mississippi Code Section 73-13-71 to revise the definition of "surveying" to exclude work products representing only a generalized location that the public would not reasonably rely upon as a precise location.

Excludes from the definition of surveying the transcription of previously created data into any presentation format if the data is not intended to indicate the authoritative location of property boundaries or the precise definition of earth's shape or contour.

Makes conforming amendments to Section 73-13-3 regarding engineering surveys, clarifying that engineering surveys exclude the practice of surveying as defined in Section 73-13-71.

Becomes effective July 1, 2019.
