This bill establishes the Missouri Geospatial Advisory Council within the office of administration to advise the state on the development and improvement of a statewide geospatial data infrastructure, which refers to a system for managing and accessing location-based information. The council will consist of representatives from various state departments, federal agencies, and local entities, including the departments of conservation, economic development, health and senior services, natural resources, public safety, and transportation, as well as the adjutant general of the national guard, the director of the Missouri Spatial Data Information Service (MSDIS), which is Missouri's main hub for spatial data like maps and aerial photos, and the chair of the Missouri 911 service board, among others. Additionally, fourteen citizens will be appointed to represent different sectors like local government, the private sector, public safety, land surveyors, and academia. The council will meet at least quarterly, elect a chair and chair-elect, and its appointed members will serve two-year terms without compensation but can be reimbursed for expenses. The council is also prohibited from collecting any personally identifiable information about individuals.
