Relating to the regulation of land surveyors by the Texas Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors.

HB 2204 updates Texas regulations for land surveyors by requiring the Texas Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors to establish an advisory committee that must issue written reports on surveying matters and maintain public meeting records. The bill also mandates the board to provide written advisory opinions interpreting regulations or applying them to specific situations. It revises certification requirements for surveyor-in-training applicants, specifying degree options (e.g., bachelor's in surveying or associate degree with related coursework) and experience standards under a registered surveyor. These changes directly affect land surveyors seeking licensure and the board’s oversight process.
