Modify Board of Engineers and Surveyors.
HB 435 clarifies and updates North Carolina's regulations for engineers and land surveyors by reenacting repealed provisions and organizing licensing requirements. It defines "practice of land surveying" to include modern methods like GPS mapping and specifies detailed education/experience rules for land surveyor interns (e.g., requiring four years of surveying curriculum or 10 years of experience) and professionals (e.g., five references from licensed surveyors). The bill applies retroactively to July 1, 2022, affecting individuals seeking or renewing licenses in these professions. It does not create new policy but corrects technical errors in existing law.
