This bill would create the Alabama Geographic Information Executive Council (GIS Council) and the Alabama Geographic Information Program Office (GIS Office), already in existence by Executive Order of the Governor, to be the coordinating authority for the collection of geographic information system (GIS) data in the State of Alabama. This bill would further provide for coordination between the GIS Office, as operating arm of the GIS Council, and the 911 Board, recognizing that the GIS Office is the central repository for statewide GIS data while the 911 Board is authorized to gather and maintain the accuracy of GIS data for the provision of emergency 911 services.
