[gis_info] New federal bill

[hlshook]

Hello,

Please allow me to re-post a note that was sent out from a GIS listserv
this afternoon in Colorado.

Thanks,
Heather


*This just came across my desk. Thought is was interesting. This bill was
introduced in Congress (HR482 and S103) on 1/17.  My understanding is that
it has been referred to committee.*

of law, no Federal funds may be used to design, build, maintain, utilize,
or provide access to a Federal database of geospatial information on
community racial disparities or disparities in access to affordable
