Purpose
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.
