6	10		Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Kansas:
7	11		New Section 1. The provisions of this act shall not be construed to
8		-	prohibit the appropriate use of other datums and other geodetic
9		-	reference networks, established by a state agency or county, such as the
10		-	Kansas regional coordinate system, which was developed and
11		-	implemented by the Kansas department of transportation and is based
12		-	upon the North American datum of 1983.
13		-	New Sec. 2. The Kansas coordinate systems of 1983 and 1927
14		-	were established for defining and stating the geographic positions or
15		-	locations of points on the surface of the earth within the state of
16		-	Kansas. The 1983 system is based on the geodetic reference system
17		-	1980 ellipsoid of the North American datum of 1983 and was adopted
18		-	in K.S.A. 58-20a06, prior to its repeal. The 1927 system is based on the
19		-	Clarke 1866 ellipsoid of the North American datum of 1927 and was
20		-	not adopted in Kansas statute but was widely used in Kansas prior to
21		-	adoption of the 1983 system. Both systems are divided into a north
22		-	zone and a south zone. The area north of the south line of the following
23		-	counties constitutes the north zone: Wallace, Logan, Gove, Trego, Ellis,
24		-	Russell, Ellsworth, Saline, Dickinson, Morris, Wabaunsee, Shawnee,
25		-	Douglas and Johnson. The area south of the north line of the following
26		-	counties constitutes the south zone: Greeley, Wichita, Scott, Lane,
27		-	Ness, Rush, Barton, Rice, McPherson, Marion, Chase, Lyon, Osage,
28		-	Franklin and Miami. The plane coordinate values of a point on the
29		-	earth's surface, to be used to express the geographic position or location
30		-	of such point in the appropriate zone of the Kansas coordinate systems
31		-	of 1983 and 1927, consist of two distances, expressed in feet and
	12	+	prohibit the appropriate use of other datums and other geodetic reference
	13	+	networks, established by a state agency or county, such as the Kansas
	14	+	regional coordinate system, which was developed and implemented by the
	15	+	Kansas department of transportation and is based upon the North
	16	+	American datum of 1983.
	17	+	New Sec. 2. The Kansas coordinate systems of 1983 and 1927 were
	18	+	established for defining and stating the geographic positions or locations
	19	+	of points on the surface of the earth within the state of Kansas. The 1983
	20	+	system is based on the geodetic reference system 1980 ellipsoid of the
	21	+	North American datum of 1983 and was adopted in K.S.A. 58-20a06, prior
	22	+	to its repeal. The 1927 system is based on the Clarke 1866 ellipsoid of the
	23	+	North American datum of 1927 and was not adopted in Kansas statute but
	24	+	was widely used in Kansas prior to adoption of the 1983 system. Both
	25	+	systems are divided into a north zone and a south zone. The area north of
	26	+	the south line of the following counties constitutes the north zone:
	27	+	Wallace, Logan, Gove, Trego, Ellis, Russell, Ellsworth, Saline, Dickinson,
	28	+	Morris, Wabaunsee, Shawnee, Douglas and Johnson. The area south of the
	29	+	north line of the following counties constitutes the south zone: Greeley,
	30	+	Wichita, Scott, Lane, Ness, Rush, Barton, Rice, McPherson, Marion,
	31	+	Chase, Lyon, Osage, Franklin and Miami. The plane coordinate values of a
	32	+	point on the earth's surface, to be used to express the geographic position
	33	+	or location of such point in the appropriate zone of the Kansas coordinate
	34	+	systems of 1983 and 1927, consist of two distances, expressed in feet and
32	35		decimals of a foot or meters and decimals of a meter. If the values are
33		-	expressed in feet, a definition of one foot equals 1200/3937 meter
34		-	exactly shall be used as the standard foot for the Kansas coordinate
35		-	systems of 1983 and 1927. One of the distances, known as the
36		-	"Northing" or "N" for the 1983 system, or "y" for the 1927 system,
37		-	gives the position in a north and south direction. The other distance,
38		-	known as the "Easting" or "E" for the 1983 system, or "x" for the 1927
39		-	system, gives the position in an east and west direction. For purposes of
40		-	more precisely defining the Kansas coordinate systems of 1983 and
41		-	1927, the following definitions shall apply:

86	168		Sec. 5. K.S.A. 58-20a02 is hereby amended to read as follows: 58-
87	169		20a02. As established for use in the north zone, the Kansas coordinate
88		-	system of 1983 shall be named. In any land description in which it is
89		-	used, it shall be designated the "Kansas coordinate system 1983 north

98	179		Sec. 6. K.S.A. 58-20a03 is hereby amended to read as follows: 58-
99		-	20a03. The plane coordinate values for a point on the earth's surface
100		-	used to express the geographic position or location of such point in the
101		-	appropriate zone of this the Kansas plane coordinate system, shall
102		-	consist of two distances expressed in feet and decimals of a foot or
103		-	meters and decimals of a meter when using the Kansas coordinate
104		-	system of 1983. One of the distances, to be known as the "Northing" or
105		-	"N" shall give the position in a north-and-south direction; the other, to
106		-	be known as the "Easting" or "E" shall give the position in an east-and-
107		-	west direction. These coordinates shall be made to depend upon and
108		-	conform to plane rectangular coordinate values for the monumented
109		-	points of the North American national geodetic horizontal network as
110		-	published by the national ocean survey/national geodetic survey
111		-	(formerly the United States coast and geodetic survey), or its
112		-	successors, and whose plane coordinates have been computed on the
113		-	system defined in the act. Any such station or point may be used for
114		-	establishing a survey connection to the Kansas coordinate system of
115		-	1983. If the values are expressed in feet, a definition of one foot equals
116		-	0.3048 meter exactly is used as the standard foot for the Kansas plane
117		-	coordinate system. One of the two distances, to be known as the east or
118		-	x-coordinate, gives the distance east of the y-axis. The other distance,
119		-	to be known as the north or y-coordinate, gives the distance north of SENATE BILL No. 424—page 3
120		-	the x-axis. The y-axis of any zone is parallel with the central meridian
121		-	of that zone. The x-axis of any zone is at right angles to the central
122		-	meridian of that zone. Height is the coordinate value of the vertical
	180	+	20a03. The plane coordinate values for a point on the earth's surface used
	181	+	to express the geographic position or location of such point in the
	182	+	appropriate zone of this the Kansas plane coordinate system, shall consist
	183	+	of two distances expressed in feet and decimals of a foot or meters and
	184	+	decimals of a meter when using the Kansas coordinate system of 1983.
	185	+	One of the distances, to be known as the "Northing" or "N" shall give the
	186	+	position in a north-and-south direction; the other, to be known as the
	187	+	"Easting" or "E" shall give the position in an east-and-west direction.
	188	+	These coordinates shall be made to depend upon and conform to plane
	189	+	rectangular coordinate values for the monumented points of the North
	190	+	American national geodetic horizontal network as published by the
	191	+	national ocean survey/national geodetic survey (formerly the United States
	192	+	coast and geodetic survey), or its successors, and whose plane coordinates
	193	+	have been computed on the system defined in the act. Any such station or
	194	+	point may be used for establishing a survey connection to the Kansas
	195	+	coordinate system of 1983. If the values are expressed in feet, a definition
	196	+	of one foot equals 0.3048 meter exactly is used as the standard foot for the
	197	+	Kansas plane coordinate system. One of the two distances, to be known as
	198	+	the east or x-coordinate, gives the distance east of the y-axis. The other
	199	+	distance, to be known as the north or y-coordinate, gives the distance
	200	+	north of the x-axis. The y-axis of any zone is parallel with the central
	201	+	meridian of that zone. The x-axis of any zone is at right angles to the
	202	+	central meridian of that zone. Height is the coordinate value of the vertical
123	203		elements of the national spatial reference system expressed in feet or
124	204		meters and identified as ellipsoid height or orthometric height.
