NSPS Legislative Updates

NSPS Director Jim Craddock and Executive Director Sherri Barron attended NSPS Day on the Hill on March 18, 2025, where they met with five congressional offices to discuss key legislative issues. They advocated for a Workforce Development provision in the 2026 NDAA to help transitioning servicemembers with surveying and geospatial experience enter the profession. They also sought backing for a "Sense of Congress" resolution emphasizing the critical role of licensing for surveyors, engineers, and architects in protecting public safety amid discussions on occupational licensing reform. Lastly, they supported legislation to assist property owners in preserving and reestablishing survey monumentation that was lost due to natural disasters.

Legislative Updates

Right of Entry - March 15, 2025

Due to the busy election season and the push to finalize funding for Hurricane Helene assistance and making committee assignments in December, the ROE bill, like many others, was not presented. However, Senator Jarvis has stated that he plans to introduce the bill during the current legislative session.

NCSS is actively working with Senator Jarvis to address concerns about this legislation. Senator Jarvis expressed his intention to attempt to move the legislation out of GS 89C to the trespass statute, where it was initially meant to be placed. As you will recall, Senate Bill 677 altered this by including licensure reduction provisions that put the language in GS 89C. Per Senator Jarvis’s request, we have been carefully reviewing the language to ensure all unintended consequences are properly addressed. It is up to Senator Jarvis as to the proper timing, but we hope to have what he asked for by next week if an opportunity to include this were to arise before the next session. 

To clarify further, no legislative opportunity has been missed to attempt to move the wording. The House and Senate have only convened once since June, and it was for a very limited package that the House and Senate pre-negotiated for some necessary appropriations. This bill, as Senator Jarvis knows, could not have any additions. The only other items up for consideration were veto overrides, and as you may know, no changes can be made to a bill up for a veto override.
