2006 Nebraska Revised Statutes - § 86-569 — Findings and intent.

Section 86-569
Findings and intent.

(1) The Legislature finds that the Geographic Information System is a computer-based technology that captures, stores, analyzes, and displays information about the earth's surface from a geographically referenced system, that an interest in the system is rapidly increasing at all levels of government, and that an institutional mechanism is needed to encourage initiatives, coordinate efforts, avoid duplication, seek efficiencies, develop guidelines, policies, and standards for operations and management, promote education and training, and make recommendations so that such technology will benefit the entire state and endure as an analysis tool for decisionmakers.

(2) The Intergovernmental Data Communications Advisory Council has found that there are many levels of experience, expertise, and hardware and software sophistication among the various levels of government and that guidelines, policies, coordination, and standards are required to realize the maximum benefits of this technology, avoid data quality problems, and resolve conflicts at a reasonable cost for the state.

(3) It is the intent of the Legislature that a Geographic Information System Steering Committee be created with statewide responsibilities to take an active role in implementing the Geographic Information System. Such committee would help facilitate acquisition of such technology at all levels of government and make recommendations to the Legislature for program initiatives and funding and the fostering of communication, training, and education.
