A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO CLARIFY THE AUTHORITY OF LAND SURVEYORS TO ENTER ON LAND.

"§ 89C-29.  Entry on land by registered land surveyors; minimum access.
Registered land surveyors, their employees, and agents may enter, after reasonable notice, onto the lands of others and carry by hand with them their customary equipment for the geographical area concerned, to obtain the monumentation required and perform the minimum customary and necessary acts to survey the land. The duty owed by a landowner to registered surveyors, their employees and agents, to protect against injury, shall be that owed to a trespasser."
