PURPOSE AND EFFECT: These changes are to amend and streamline the rules and forms that govern the profession of surveying and mapping in the state of Florida. Many of these changes are necessary as there were corresponding changes to chapter 472, F.S., in the last legislative session. These changes also seek to remove obsolete language that no longer applies to the profession and remove outdated verbiage that applies to seals acceptable to the Board. In addition, these changes seek to provide clarity regarding continuing education credits.

SUBJECT AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: As stated above, the subject area of the proposed rules include: applications, licensure, discipline, definitions, fines, examinations, continuing education, standards of practice, seals, and survey review.
