Key amendments include: - Allowing grants to cover both monument preservation and updates to records and data on monuments. - Prioritizing funding for counties with financial need and those that meet at least one of these criteria: 1. Preserving public land survey monuments at risk of being lost, destroyed, or obscured. 2. Having a low percentage of certified public land survey system monument corners. 3. Using remonumentation to support economic development.
The bill also appropriates funding for these grants, though the specific amount is not mentioned.
