Geospatial Information Act of 2018

The Geospatial Information Act of 2018 aims to improve the sharing, coordination, and management of geospatial data—such as maps and geographic information—across government agencies. It establishes a legal framework to enhance data accuracy, accessibility, and security, ensuring that various entities can collaborate effectively. The act promotes standardized data practices, supports informed decision-making, and safeguards sensitive information, ultimately enhancing national safety, planning, and development through better use of geographic information systems (GIS).
