PURPOSE:

These changes are to amend and streamline the Rules and forms that govern the profession of surveying and mapping in the state of Florida.  These 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.  These changes also seek to remove obsolete language that no longer applies to the profession and remove outdated verbiage that applies to technology no longer deployed in the profession as advances have been made in that area.   In addition, the rule changes seek to provide a waiver of fees for the initial registration of our honorably discharged veterans and spouses.

SUBJECT:

As stated above, the subject area of the proposed rules include: Applications, Licensure, Probation, Discipline, Definitions, Fines, Examinations, Continuing Education, Standards of Practice, Seal and Signature, and Appointment to the Board.
