Legislative sponsors Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and Senator Mark Warner (D-VA), U.S. Representative Bruce Westerman (R-AR-04), and U.S. Representative Seth Moulton (D-MA-06) collaborated with GIS organizations across government and industry to advocate for common data standards, interagency collaboration and transparency to taxpayers on shared national data services.

Agreeing to a common vision will make it easier for federal, state and local agencies to integrate location data into widespread practice, no matter their size. The American Association of Geographers’ (AAG) industry leadership brought the GIS community together to shape this bipartisan legislation that works for all organizations.
