SURVEYORS: Updates standards for surveying and mapping
HB 642 is a technical amendment bill that updates the official code for Louisiana's surveying and mapping laws. The legislation does not introduce new policies or change existing regulations but instead corrects a specific typo in the text by changing the reference code from "NATREF2022" to "NATRF2022" in four separate locations. This change ensures that the legal documents accurately reflect the correct name for the National Association of Professional Surveyors' 2022 standards. The bill directly affects the state's legal framework for surveying but has no impact on daily operations or new requirements for professionals.
