Amends existing law to provide that a surveyor's narrative shall contain certain information; and to provide that a record of survey shall contain a surveyor's narrative.

The purpose of the survey narrative is to offer a rational summary of the evidence accepted and rejected and to ensure evidence is not missed or misinterpreted. The survey narrative will serve to perpetuate a record of the evidence considered and the principles applied in performing the survey. This will aid the public and future surveyors by making the record more clear and complete.
