Sen. Stephen Roberts files bill to create Missouri Geospatial Advisory Council; bill remains in committee
Summary
Senate Bill 204, sponsored by Senator Stephen Roberts of Saint Louis, would create a Missouri Geospatial Advisory Council; the bill previously cleared committee unanimously in 2023 and 2024 and is currently in the Senate Veterans and Military Affairs Committee during the 2025 session.
Senator Stephen Roberts of Saint Louis is sponsoring Senate Bill 204, legislation that would create the Missouri Geospatial Advisory Council. According to reporting from the state capital, SB204 has a multi-year history: it passed unanimously out of committee in both the 2023 and 2024 sessions and reached the House calendar for a third reading last year but did not complete final passage before the session ended.
The transcript records that SB204 is currently in the Missouri Senate Veterans and Military Affairs Committee. No committee vote or floor action on SB204 is recorded in the provided transcript.
The bill’s supporters framed the measure as building state-level capacity around geospatial issues; the transcript does not include the bill text or fiscal analysis. The provision’s prior unanimous committee support in earlier sessions indicates some bipartisan committee-level backing, but final enactment requires further committee action and a successful floor vote in both chambers.
The statement comes during the eighth week of the 2025 regular legislative session. The transcript does not record any formal vote on SB204 in this meeting excerpt.
