Modifies the list of duties for the state surveyor and authorizes the Department of Agriculture to enter into contracts to complete the work by December 31, 2046.

HB 2280 updates Missouri's land surveying responsibilities by requiring the Department of Agriculture to restore and mark railroad right-of-way corners on abandoned rail lines by December 31, 2046. This directly affects landowners, surveyors, and county officials who rely on accurate boundary records for property management and development. The bill authorizes the Department to contract with registered surveyors or engineers to complete this work, replacing outdated duties in existing law. It also maintains the Department’s existing role in preserving survey monuments, boundary markers, and land survey records. The key change is the specific deadline for railroad corner restoration, ensuring consistent land boundary records for abandoned rail corridors.
