Committee passes bill to re-establish Geospatial Advisory Council; 9'4 vote reported
Summary
After questioning on funding, staffing and privacy, the committee voted to pass the bill that will move the Geospatial Advisory Council to DCA and support administrative governance of the GIO. A motion carried in committee with a reported tally of 9 yeses and 4 noes.
Representative McClain moved that the committee "do pass" the bill; the motion was seconded and the chair called for a vote. The committee recorded the vote as 9 in favor and 4 opposed and advanced the bill out of committee. There was no state funding attached to the advisory council in the bill as presented.
Committee members signaled interest in receiving further briefings on funding and cost estimates; the GIO said she would return with more detailed cost estimates and plans. The committee chair said staff would file the committee's report and move the bill forward for consideration.
