SB 25-019

Senate Bill 25-019, which has been signed into law, updates Colorado's rules on how geographic locations are described within the state. Currently, Colorado uses old systems from 1927 and 1983 to pinpoint locations, but this new law allows for the use of more recent versions of these coordinate systems as well. This change will help modernize mapping and surveying practices in Colorado, making them more accurate and efficient. The bill is now law and will affect anyone involved in land surveys, mapmaking, or geographic information systems within the state.

Official Summary

Current law allows the use of the Colorado coordinate system of 1927 and the Colorado coordinate system of 1983 established by the national geodetic survey to state the geographic positions or locations of points on the surface of the earth within the state. The act allows the use of the most recent or a prior version of the state plane coordinate system for the same purpose. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
