DESCRIPTION

This act makes the rules of reestablishment of township corners mandatory. Current law sets forth the procedures and rules as suggestions.

Added requirements include a double porportionate measurement on the opposite corners of the lost corner for corners common to four townships, and single proportionate measurement on the opposite corners of the lost corner for corners located on standard parallels.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
