Fellow Wisconsin Surveyors:
Please contact your state representatives to ask them to support this act. You can send them something like the following:
*********************************************************************************
Representative YOUR REP'S NAME:
As a constituent of yours, I am writing this letter to ask for your support, or co-sponsorship of LRB-2110 The Surveying Modernization Act.
In our rapidly changing world technology and practices surveyors utilize have also changed. The purpose of this bill is to modernize Wisconsin laws that define the practice of land surveying and ensure those laws and modern practices conform with each other.
As a society we have worked with legislators from both parties over the past number of years.
This bill will:
- Synchronize terminology used in the statutes that relate to land surveying
- Resolve challenges to land platting that have arisen in recent years due to changing technology
- Modernizes the statutes to reflect the new technology used in our field
This bill does not:
- Fence out other professions
- Threaten or impede on property rights and economic development
If you would co-sponsor this bill please contact Representative Roger Rivard's office by February 3rd.
Thank you for your time,
