Geospatial Data Act

The Geospatial Data Act is a U.S. law aimed at improving how government agencies collect, manage, and share geospatial data, which includes information about geographic locations and features. It promotes better coordination among federal agencies to reduce duplication and enhance the quality and availability of geospatial data. The Act also establishes standards for data, encourages the use of modern technologies, and requires the creation of a national geospatial strategy, ensuring that this vital information supports decision-making and public services efficiently. Ultimately, it seeks to make data more accessible and useful for various applications.
