Quick answers
Did CA AB 1933 pass?
Yes. CA AB 1933 has been enacted into law. Latest recorded action (2026-09-18): Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter 277, Statutes of 2026.
What is CA AB 1933 about?
Existing law establishes a record of survey review process, which requires a county surveyor to examine a record of survey for compliance with specified requirements, and authorizes the county surveyor to charge a reasonable fee for examining a record of survey, as provided, and not to exceed the cost of the service. Existing law requires that, if a record of survey complies with the specified requirements, the county surveyor must endorse a statement of examination on the record of survey and present it to the county recorder for filing. Existing law requires that, if the record of survey does not comply with the above requirements, the county surveyor must return it to the person who presented it with a written statement of the changes necessary to make it conform. This bill would, instead, require the county surveyor to return the record of survey to the licensed land surveyor or licensed civil engineer who presented it with a written statement of the changes necessary to make it conform. Existing law requires every person authorized to practice land surveying, if a corner or an accessory thereto, as specified, is found, set, reset, or used as control in any survey, to stamp with their seal and file with the county surveyor or engineer of the county where the corner is situated a written record of the establishment or restoration of the corner or accessory, except as specified. This bill would delete the option of filing the survey with the county engineer, and would make conforming changes. Existing law requires a corner record, as defined, to be examined for compliance with specified provisions, including that a corner record be signed and sealed by a land surveyor or civil engineer, as specified. Existing law requires that a monument set by a licensed land surveyor or registered civil engineer be permanently and visibly marked or tagged with the licensee's certificate number, as specified. This bill would revise the above corner record examination provisions to delete the authority for the county engineer to examine the corner record, and would require a county surveyor, when examining a corner record for compliance, to include compliance with specified monument identification and tagging requirements, as specified. By requiring a higher level of service from a county surveyor, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
