Bill > SF427

This bill modifies the requirements for licensure as a professional land surveyor in Iowa by adding two key provisions. First, the bill requires that land surveyor license applicants successfully pass an examination specific to Iowa state laws, which is a new requirement for obtaining a professional land surveyor license. Second, the bill prohibits the professional licensing board from issuing temporary licenses to practice as a professional land surveyor, which eliminates a previous provision that may have allowed for temporary licensure. The effective date of these changes is July 1, 2025, meaning these new requirements will apply to land surveyor license applicants seeking licensure after that date. The bill aims to ensure that professional land surveyors operating in Iowa have a comprehensive understanding of the state's specific laws and regulations, and maintains a standard of full licensure without temporary work permits.
