Read the official explanation
This bill relates to terms used in the context of land surveying. survey foot. The bill strikes the requirement that distance measurements refer to the horizontal plane. The bill provides that the Iowa plane coordinate system shall be used for the purpose of conducting official surveys. The bill amends the definition of “Iowa plane coordinate system” to mean the system established solely by the United States geodetic survey, or a successor agency, in use at the time the survey is performed. The bill repeals provisions relating to the designation of coordinate zones, identification of geographic locations, and application of terms associated with the Iowa plane coordinate system as it exists under current law.
