Arizona geological survey; analysis; division

HB 2262 amends Arizona law to protect certain geological data from public disclosure and reorganizes related state functions. It prohibits disclosure of geospatial data and wildlife location information (especially on private property or if harm could occur) under public records laws, while defining key terms like "geographic information system" and "geospatial data." The bill establishes the Resource Analysis Division within the state land department, requiring the Arizona Geological Survey to map aggregate resources (like sand and gravel) by county and update inventories upon request. It also creates the Arizona Geographic Information Council to coordinate data standards across state and local agencies. These changes directly affect state agencies managing geological data, land resources, and public records requests.
