| 4 | Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the | ||||||
| 5 | Illinois Coordinate System Act of 2024. | ||||||
| 6 | Section 3. Purpose. The Illinois Coordinate System Act is | ||||||
| 7 | established for the purpose of compiling accessible, accurate, | ||||||
| 8 | reliable, and repeatable data for use in the Illinois | ||||||
| 9 | Coordinate System and the Illinois State Plane Coordinate | ||||||
| 10 | System. Highly accurate geospatial data used by disciplines, | ||||||
| 11 | including the engineering, surveying, construction, | ||||||
| 12 | cartography, and geographic information professions, advances | ||||||
| 13 | the development of public infrastructure, industry, | ||||||

| 16 | "Committee" means the Illinois Coordinate System | ||||||
| 17 | Committee. | ||||||
| 18 | "Illinois Coordinate System" means a collection of various | ||||||
| 19 | plane coordinate systems included in the guide for defining | ||||||
| 20 | and stating the position or location of points on the surface | ||||||
| 21 | of the earth within the State. | ||||||
| 22 | "Illinois State Plane Coordinate System" means a | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | collection of various plane coordinate systems that have been | ||||||
| 2 | established by the United States Department of Commerce, | ||||||
| 3 | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National | ||||||
| 4 | Ocean Service, National Geodetic Survey, and predecessor | ||||||
| 5 | agencies for defining and stating the position or location of | ||||||
| 6 | points on the surface of the earth within the State. | ||||||
| 7 | "Metadata" means naming the used geodetic reference frame | ||||||
| 8 | or datum; epoch or adjustment; unit of measurement; and | ||||||
| 9 | projection. | ||||||
| 10 | Section 10. Illinois Coordinate System Committee. | ||||||
| 11 | (a) The Illinois Coordinate System Committee is hereby | ||||||
| 12 | created. The Committee is created for the purpose of creating, | ||||||
| 13 | reviewing, and revising the Guide to the Illinois Coordinate | ||||||
| 14 | System. The Committee shall meet at the call of any designated | ||||||
| 15 | member of the Committee. The Committee shall adopt an | ||||||

| 8 | systems, appointed by the Governor; | ||||||
| 9 | (8) the Director of the Illinois State Police or the | ||||||

| 23 | systems when made mathematically relatable to at least one | ||||||
| 24 | coordinate reference system outlined in the Guide to the | ||||||
| 25 | Illinois Coordinate System. The Guide to the Illinois | ||||||
| 26 | Coordinate System shall: | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
