An act relating to the Vermont State Plane Coordinate System

This bill updates Vermont's official mapping system by establishing clear definitions for the Vermont State Plane Coordinate System and its two legacy versions, the 1927 and 1983 systems. It requires that all land surveys, maps, and legal documents using these coordinate systems explicitly state which specific system was used to ensure accuracy and consistency. The legislation also mandates that new projects use the Vermont Coordinate System 1983 after January 1, 2000, and will transition to newer systems as they become available from the National Geodetic Survey. These changes primarily affect surveyors, land developers, government agencies, and anyone creating or recording property boundaries in Vermont.
