SB3631 EnrolledLRB103 37857 MXP 67988 b

    AN ACT concerning State government.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the
Illinois Coordinate System Act of 2024.
 
    Section 3. Purpose. The Illinois Coordinate System Act is
established for the purpose of compiling accessible, accurate,
reliable, and repeatable data for use in the Illinois
Coordinate System and the Illinois State Plane Coordinate
System. Highly accurate geospatial data used by disciplines,
including the engineering, surveying, construction,
cartography, and geographic information professions, advances
the development of public infrastructure, industry,
agriculture, and other facets of the economy.
 
    Section 5. Definitions. As used in this Act:
    "Committee" means the Illinois Coordinate System
Committee.
    "Illinois Coordinate System" means a collection of various
plane coordinate systems included in the guide for defining
and stating the position or location of points on the surface
of the earth within the State.
    "Illinois State Plane Coordinate System" means a
collection of various plane coordinate systems that have been
established by the United States Department of Commerce,
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National
Ocean Service, National Geodetic Survey, and predecessor
agencies for defining and stating the position or location of
points on the surface of the earth within the State.
    "Metadata" means naming the used geodetic reference frame
or datum; epoch or adjustment; unit of measurement; and
projection.
 
    Section 10. Illinois Coordinate System Committee.
    (a) The Illinois Coordinate System Committee is hereby
created. The Committee is created for the purpose of creating,
reviewing, and revising the Guide to the Illinois Coordinate
System. The Committee shall meet at the call of any designated
member of the Committee. The Committee shall adopt an
organizational structure as necessary for the fulfillment of
its purpose.
    (b) The Committee shall consist of the following members:
        (1) the Secretary of Transportation, or the
    Secretary's designee, who shall serve as Chair;
        (2) the Director of the Illinois Center for Geographic
    Information, or the Director's designee;
        (3) the Director of Natural Resources, or the
    Director's designee;
        (4) the Executive Director of the Illinois State Toll
    Highway Authority, or the Executive Director's designee;

regional, State, and federal agencies; professional
associations; academic institutions; and private sector
companies, enterprises, and businesses.
    (d) The Committee shall create, review, and revise the
Guide to the Illinois Coordinate System. This Act shall not be
construed to prohibit the appropriate use of other datums,
geodetic reference networks or systems, or other coordinate
systems when made mathematically relatable to at least one
coordinate reference system outlined in the Guide to the
Illinois Coordinate System. The Guide to the Illinois
Coordinate System shall:
        (1) define the various plane coordinate systems of the
    Illinois Coordinate System;
        (2) contain metadata to accompany the data from the
    Illinois Coordinate System, the Illinois State Plane
    Coordinate System, or from any other datum, network, or
    system intended to be a part of a public record; and
        (3) be made available to the public through the
    Illinois Geospatial Data Clearinghouse, or other public
    source approved by the Committee.
