HB 3619 creates a State Geographic Information Council composed of 19 state agency representatives and three gubernatorially appointed members to standardize geographic data across Oklahoma. The Council must develop statewide standards for geographic information systems (GIS), create a comprehensive GIS implementation plan, and establish a workgroup to map county boundaries. It also establishes an Office of Geographic Information within the Oklahoma Conservation Commission to manage these efforts, with a State Geographic Information Coordinator appointed by the Commission. The bill directly affects state agencies that use geographic data for land, water, and infrastructure management, ensuring consistent data sharing and reducing duplication of efforts.
