HF531

This bill focuses on the preservation of historical survey monuments in Minnesota. It mandates that if landmarks known as United States public land survey monuments are either destroyed or at risk of becoming difficult to recognize, county boards must hire a licensed land surveyor. This surveyor is tasked with replacing these monuments with durable ones, ensuring they are properly documented with detailed notes and records. These records must be officially filed within a year by the surveyor. The aim is to maintain clear and traceable boundaries by preserving these crucial landmarks, which serve as certified evidence of the original survey corners set by the United States.
