This bill proposes several updates to the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding the Arizona coordinate system. The current designation of the system as the "Arizona coordinate system, 1983" will be changed to the "Arizona plane coordinate system," and it will be clarified that this system is a subset of the national spatial reference system. The bill will also remove outdated references to specific zones and their definitions, replacing them with a more general description of the Arizona plane coordinate system as a component of the national spatial reference system, which includes updated standards and metadata requirements for geospatial documents.

Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions for the establishment and reporting of geodetic control stations, emphasizing compliance with national standards and ensuring public access to data. It mandates that coordinates must be computed from the national spatial reference system and that any use of the Arizona plane coordinate system must adhere to specific guidelines. The bill also includes a stipulation that it will only take effect upon the publication of a notice by the national geodetic survey confirming the approval of the modernized national spatial reference system.
