The bill amends K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 58-2011 to extend the time frame for filing reference reports related to United States public land survey corners from 30 days to 90 days. This change applies to reports that land surveyors must file with the secretary of the state historical society and the county surveyor (or county engineer if no surveyor exists) whenever a survey originates from a public land survey corner. The bill also allows for the filing and retrieval of these reports using electronic technologies, if authorized by the secretary.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for filing restoration reports after activities that may alter or damage survey corners, also extending the filing period for these reports to 90 days. It establishes penalties for non-compliance, including potential suspension or revocation of a land surveyor's license, and outlines the secretary of the state historical society's authority to charge fees for information retrieval and reproductions related to land surveys. The existing section of K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 58-2011 is repealed, and the act will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
