Enacts GS 136-19.4A, directing the Department of Transportation (DOT) to include in any plan prepared for the purpose of acquiring property rights for a right-of-way, a permanent easement, or both, which depict property lines, right-of-way lines, or permanent easements, a set of drawings that clearly identify (1) design alignments, (2) baseline control points, (3) found property-related corner markers, and (4) new right-of-way and permanent easement corner markers.

Requires plans subject to the requirements of this statute to document the localized coordinates for each major control point along the design alignments. Requires the coordinates and associated localization metadata to be based upon and tied to the NC State Plane Coordinate system, and to be clearly identified within the plans. Requires all property and corner markers found and surveyed to be clearly identified within the plans in accordance with general surveying standards and procedures. Further requires each property corner marker to be accurately tied to the design alignment or the NC State Plane Coordinate system by either a system of bearings and distances or by station and offset.

Effective July 1, 2017, and applies to plans prepared for acquisitions on or after that date.
