A new law makes some technical changes to land registration and plat requirements.
Signed by Gov. Tim Pawlenty April 24, water boundaries must now be shown on plat maps with a dashed line instead of a solid line.
The law also requires that all plat monuments be set within a year of recording the coordinates, allows decimals of a foot to be used when surveying and modifies the size, medium and content requirements for filling out a land survey.
The law, sponsored by Rep. Paul Marquart (DFL-Dilworth) and Sen. Yvonne Prettner Solon (DFL-Duluth), takes effect Aug. 1, 2008.
