An Act amending the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.177, No.175), known as The Administrative Code of 1929, in organization of departmental administrative boards and commissions and of advisory boards and commissions, further providing for the State Geospatial Coordinating Board.
This bill amends the Administrative Code to clarify the reporting structure for the State Geospatial Coordinating Board. It establishes that while the board oversees the executive director's daily work, the director must report administratively to the Secretary of Administration. This change organizes how the board functions within the state government without altering its core purpose of coordinating geospatial data. The legislation was signed into law in June 2024 to formalize these administrative lines of authority.
