    1         Senate Amendment (with title amendment)
    2  
    3         Between lines 2599 and 2600
    4  insert:
    5         Section 56. (1) The Department of Transportation shall
    6  coordinate with all state agencies, including the Department of
    7  Environmental Protection, and water management districts to
    8  establish a workgroup to review state statutes, policies,
    9  practices, and standards relating to statewide mapping programs.
   10  Notwithstanding s. 20.255(9), Florida Statutes, the Department
   11  of Transportation is the lead agency for the development and
   12  review of policies, practices, and standards related to
   13  geospatial data managed by state agencies and water management
   14  districts under this section for the 2025-2026 fiscal year.
   15         (2) The Department of Transportation shall issue a request
   16  for proposals pursuant to s. 287.057, Florida Statutes, for the
   17  procurement of a program to manage all survey, mapping, and data
   18  collection that uses light detection and ranging (LiDAR), high
   19  resolution aerial imagery, including orthoimagery and oblique
   20  imagery, and other similar mapping technologies. The proposals
   21  may provide for co-collection of data by aerial imagery, LiDAR,
   22  and other methods. Data collection must be in accordance with
   23  United States Geological Survey recommendations for
   24  technologies, standards, and specifications.
   25         (3) The Department of Transportation, in coordination with
   26  the workgroup, shall review state statutes and policies related
   27  to geospatial data sharing throughout state government and make
   28  recommendations to the President of the Senate and the Speaker
   29  of the House of Representatives by November 15, 2025, for any
   30  legislative action necessary to establish the Department of
   31  Transportation as the primary point of contact for statewide
   32  geographic information systems and to update statutes relating
   33  to geographic information systems and geospatial data sharing to
   34  allow for coordination and access to such systems and geospatial
   35  data. The recommendations must provide a survey of data needs,
   36  including minimum density and elevation; consider means to
   37  ensure accuracy, consistency, and interoperability that
   38  effectively support critical functions across all users; and
   39  provide recommendations necessary to make the data collected
   40  available to all users, including information technology needs
   41  and any recommendations for cost sharing or interagency
   42  agreements. The recommendations must take into account
   43  anticipated efficiencies and cost savings while balancing the
   44  need for different types and densities of data and their uses.
