Geospatial Coordinating Board - Contact State Representative

Hello, All. We have seen our efforts to create a Geospatial Coordinating Board advance farther than ever before - Senate Bill 771 passed out of the Senate unanimously in the Spring and the Bill has passed the first two considerations and Appropriations scrutiny in the House. We think the legislation could come to a vote without any aggressive push from constituents and supporters but fear leaving that completely to luck in a session with many large, complex issues at hand.

Please make email or phone contact to the district office of your PA House Representative before September 12 simply requesting that they ask House leadership to allow Senate Bill 771 forming a Geospatial Coordinating Board to come to the floor for third consideration.

This request is pertinent for all Representatives, regardless of political affiliation.
