15                                 

16  The committee substitute provides the requirements for the
    reissuance and reinstatement of the licensure of a surveyor
17  and mapper licensed under ch. 472, F.S., rather than any
    licensee regulated by ch. 455, F.S.    It provides for the
18  specified date of July 1, 2005 for the license to be reissued
    and reinstated.  It provides for certain criteria to be met
19  rather than complying with certain grandfather provisions of
    the different licensure provisions in order for a license to
20  be reinstated and reissued.
