SB 2422 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Licensure of land surveyors; merge into licensure of engineers.

SB 2422 merges Mississippi's separate licensing systems for land surveyors and professional engineers into a single licensure framework. It creates a unified Board of Licensure for both professions, revises qualification requirements, increases application and renewal fees for both, and grants surveyors limited legal protection when entering land for boundary work (reducing trespass liability). The bill repeals all existing land surveyor licensing statutes and adds new provisions clarifying that surveying activities incidental to engineering work are covered under the combined system. This directly affects licensed land surveyors and engineers in Mississippi by changing how they obtain and maintain their professional licenses.
