Bill Summary · SCR 114

Legislative bill overview

SCR 114 is a concurrent resolution designating a specific week in California as "National Surveyors Week" to recognize and honor the surveying profession. The bill passed both the Senate and Assembly with unanimous support and involves no appropriation of funds.

Why is this important

Concurrent resolutions are ceremonial measures that celebrate professions, historical events, or causes without creating new law or spending. This resolution provides official recognition to surveyors, a profession essential to property boundaries, construction projects, and land development. Such recognitions can raise public awareness of a profession and acknowledge its contributions to infrastructure and economic development.

Potential points of contention

  • Ceremonial only: This resolution has no binding effect and does not address any actual policy concerns affecting surveyors, such as licensing standards, workforce development, or professional regulations
  • Limited practical value: While symbolic recognition may boost morale, it does not solve industry challenges like labor shortages or licensing reciprocity between states
  • Resource questions: Though no funds are appropriated, critics might argue legislative time could be spent on substantive surveying issues rather than ceremonial designations
