Expressing support for the designation of November 15, 2023, as "National GIS Day".
HRES 868 is a symbolic resolution expressing the U.S. House of Representatives' support for designating November 15, 2023, as "National GIS Day." It does not create new laws or directly affect any individuals or organizations. The resolution highlights Geographic Information System (GIS) technology's role in sharing geospatial data, supporting government and business decisions, advancing STEM education, and addressing societal challenges. It encourages continued use of GIS by educators, students, and innovators to explore, analyze issues, and drive economic growth. This is a non-binding gesture to raise awareness about GIS, not a policy change.
