Senate Sponsors: SIEBEN. House Sponsors: MITCHELL,JERRY-BERNS Short description: COORDINATE SYSTEM ACT-GEODETIC Synopsis of Bill as introduced: Amends the Illinois Coordinate System Act. Provides that the United States Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Ocean Service, National Geodetic Survey (rather than National Ocean Survey) established the system of plane coordinates for defining and stating the positions or locations of points on the surface of the earth within the State of Illinois, known as the Illinois Coordinate System. Provides that the 2 distances that constitute each set of plane coordinates are expressed in units of U.S. survey feet (rather than simply in feet). Provides that the coordinates of the system depend on and conform to the coordinates on the Illinois Coordinate System of the monumented survey (rather than the triangulation and traverse) stations of the United States National Geodetic Survey (rather than the United States National Ocean Survey) within the State of Illinois. Adopts the definitions (rather than the definition) by the United States National Geodetic Survey for more precisely defining the Illinois Coordinate System. Effective immediately. FISCAL NOTE (Department of Transportation) SB 824 will have no fiscal impact on IDOT since the Department has been using coordinate values based on the NAD 83 definition for the past twelve years.
