Creates the Missouri Geospatial Advisory Council

SB 204 creates the Missouri Geospatial Advisory Council to provide guidance on geospatial data and technology use across state agencies. The council would advise Missouri state departments on mapping, data standards, and infrastructure needs. This bill directly affects state agencies that rely on geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial data for operations. As a procedural bill, it establishes a new body without specifying policy changes or funding, and remains pending in committee review.

MODERATE
The bill was amended to reduce the number of new sections from four to three, and significantly restructured the composition of the Missouri Geospatial Advisory Council. The changes replaced several departmental representatives with new members focused on geospatial data services and added a requirement for citizen representation from diverse sectors. The council's meeting frequency was also changed from monthly to quarterly.

The bill's scope was narrowed by removing one section, and the council's membership composition was substantially altered to better reflect geospatial expertise and citizen representation.
