The bill amends the existing law regarding the Michigan-Indiana state line by establishing the Michigan-Indiana state line commission within the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. This commission will consist of five licensed surveyors from specific counties, appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the senate. The bill outlines the commission's responsibilities, including administering surveys, recovering or reestablishing monuments along the state line, and compiling records related to the mileposts. It also stipulates that the commission must conduct its business in compliance with the Open Meetings Act and the Freedom of Information Act, while members will not receive compensation but may be reimbursed for expenses.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the commission must procure professional surveying services through negotiated contracts or grants to adjacent county remonumentation programs, ensuring that funds are not commingled with other grant funds. It also includes a provision that the commission cannot replace lost corner positions unless the state of Indiana participates in the survey project. The act is set to be repealed on January 1, 2030, and is intended to take immediate effect upon approval.
