Land Surveyors (Amendment) Bill

The Land Surveyors (Amendment) Bill seeks to amend the Land Surveyors Act 1991 to facilitate the mutual recognition of foreign land surveyors and their work in Singapore. The Bill introduces definitions for key terms such as "foreign competent authority" and "registered foreign surveyor," and establishes a process for the annual registration of foreign land surveyors under mutual recognition arrangements. It also expands the functions of the Land Surveyors Board to include maintaining a register for foreign surveyors, and increases penalties for relevant offences. Lastly, the Bill includes consequential amendments to related acts to ensure consistent terminology and definitions.
