 8        (a)  Registered land surveyor. No action may  be  brought

10    negligence, errors or omissions in the making of  any  survey
11    nor for contribution or indemnity related to such negligence,

19        (b)  Professional  land  surveyor.   No  action  may   be

23    contribution or indemnity, more than 4 years after the person
24    claiming  the  damages actually knows or should have known of
25    the  negligence,  errors,  omissions,  torts,   breaches   of
26    contract, or other action.
27        In  no  event  may  such an action be brought if 10 years
28    have elapsed from the time  of  the  act  or  omission.   Any
29    person who discovers the act or omission before expiration of
30    the 10-year period, however, may in no event have less than 4
31    years  to bring an action.  Contract actions against a surety
