This bill proposes to officially recognize November 19, 2025, as "National GIS Day." GIS, or Geographic Information Systems, is a technology used to map and analyze data about the Earth. The goal of this bill is to celebrate the importance of GIS and its contributions to various fields such as urban planning, environmental science, and public health.

While this bill does not directly provide funding or create new policies, it emphasizes the value of GIS technology and could lead to increased awareness and support for related initiatives. The recognition may inspire educational programs and events highlighting the importance of GIS in our daily lives.

The bill was introduced on November 18, 2025, and was immediately referred to the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. This committee will review the bill and determine its next steps in the legislative process. As of now, the bill is in its early stages and has not yet been voted on by the full House.
