INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY THAT THE INDIVIDUAL MAY HAVE REGARDING

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a)(1) and (3) and (c) of this

Subsection (a)(2) and the reference to "property line
surveying" in subsection (a)(3) of this section are
new language added to conform to the practice of the
Board.

Subsection (b) of this section is new language added
to clarify the responsibility of an individual who
practices through a corporation or partnership.

In subsection (a)(1) and (3) of this section, the
defined term "professional land surveyor" is
substituted for the former references to "individual
land surveyors registered under this article", for
brevity and consistency.

In subsection (a)(l)(ii) of this section, the former
reference to "officers" of a partnership is deleted as
erroneous.

In subsection (c)(1) of this section, the express
reference to an "omission" is added to clarify that
the former reference to "conduct or acts" encompassed
the failure to act.
