Published on: 18802788. These new rules, changes and deletions are intended to amend, modernize and streamline the rules and forms that govern the profession of surveying and mapping in the state of Florida. These proposed changes are necessary as the fundamental criteria for which a surveyor’s work is judged in this state has evolved from Minimum Technical Standards (MTS) to Standards of Practice (SOP) in the last few years. In addition, these changes also seek to remove obsolete language that no longer applies to the profession and remove outdated verbiage that applies to technology no longer deployed in the profession as advances have been made in that area. Also the proposed definitional changes in these rules look to more accurately reflect currently accepted practices and procedures in the profession. Finally, these proposed changes seek to provide a waiver of fees for the initial registration of our honorably discharged veterans and spouses.

Published on: 9406301. The proposed rules establish administrative rules for the Board of Professional Surveyors and Mappers relating to the regulation of licensed professionals. The purpose of the proposed rules includes, in part, new rules similar to the previous Departmental Rules covering the Board, when the Board was located within the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Due to a Type Two transfer to the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Board must adopt certain rules to maintain continuity in Board operations. In addition, the Board has proposed a rule requiring a one-time payment by certain licensees of a special assessment fee to maintain the financial integrity of the Board. If adopted, licensees will be required to pay $100.00 to offset budgetary deficits associated with the Type Two transfer.
