HB 2168 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Extending the amount of time required for reports to be filed with the state historical society for certain United States public land surveys from 30 to 90 days.

HB 2168 extends the deadline for land surveyors to file reports about U.S. public land survey corners from 30 to 90 days. It directly affects surveyors who must submit reference reports after establishing survey points, activity reports when survey corners are altered, and restoration reports if corners are damaged. The bill amends Kansas law to change the filing timeframe in sections covering these three report types, while maintaining existing fee structures and penalties for non-compliance. This is a procedural adjustment to filing requirements, not a substantive policy change.
