SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA); exclusions from chapter; GIS systems. Excludes from the mandatory disclosure requirements of FOIA maps contained in a geographic information system that are developed from a combination of high resolution technologies, including digital orthophotography, digital terrain models or related ancillary proprietary data produced by any local governing body or by the Virginia Geographic Information Network (VGIN) division of the Virginia Information Technologies Agency in accordance with § 2.2-2027. However, nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to prohibit the disclosure of base line mapping or topography, including flat-line computer drawings contained in a geographic information system from which the maps excluded by this subdivision may be developed. As to VGIN, the bill codifies existing law. The bill also contains a technical amendment.
