HB 512 updates Utah's land surveying laws in two main ways: it modernizes the state's mapping coordinate system standards by adopting the 2022 State Plane Coordinate System as defined by the National Geodetic Survey, while preserving the legal validity of older coordinate systems used in historical documents; and it expands the ways a person can qualify for a professional land surveyor license, adding new pathways based on a bachelor's degree plus four years of experience, a high school diploma plus ten years of experience, or an existing land surveying license from another U.S. state.
