Oregon Right of Entry

:good: :good: :good:

Add "DIG SAFELY" along with "OREGON RIGHT OF ENTRY" and all Oregon Surveyors are criminals or one step or one shovel scoop away from being a criminal!!! Glad I'm about done with this crap! Not much fun anymore! My 2 cents, Jp

I have a part time gig moving a Class 8 show truck to demo's in addition to my small surveying practice, the transportation industry talks about how over regulated they are, in comparison to the points you make, I think not!

Read this thread and wonder, HOW DO YOU GUYS GET ANY SURVEYING DONE? Get rid of that unreasonable law and try out this short and simple Michigan Law. Not only can we enter, but can do so with truck. 😀

So what do we all need to do to repeal this law? I am 100% in.

PPM,
The best place to start is with your PLSO Chapter. Once you have buy in, your chapter president would then take it to the PLSO Board. Once they buy in, it would go to the legislative committee for action.
