Section 42.630 - Legislative findings

The General Assembly finds and declares that:

(1) Much of the Commonwealth's information is geographically referenced and may be presented through geographic information systems;

(2) Geographic information systems allow for the exchange of information between levels of government and facilitate the management of the Commonwealth's natural, human, cultural, and economic resources;

(3) There is a need to reduce redundancy in data-collection and development efforts, to coordinate the various activities in geographic information systems, and to share geographic information system resources and expertise to maximize the Commonwealth's investment in geographic information systems technology;

(4) Considerations of cost and the need for the transfer of information among agencies of state government in the most timely and useful form possible require a uniform policy and coordinated approach for the use of geographic information systems;

(5) It is the policy of the Commonwealth of Kentucky to coordinate and direct the use of geographic information resources and technologies to provide the most cost-effective and useful retrieval of information by its elected and appointed officials.
