Pennsylvania HB513 updates the Pennsylvania State Plane Coordinate System and repeals previous coordinate systems.
Pennsylvania HB513 amends Title 76 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to establish the Pennsylvania State Plane Coordinate System. This system uses two layers of zones for statewide and regional geospatial datasets. The State Geospatial Coordinating Board must notify the Legislative Reference Bureau upon the release of the State Plane Coordinate System by the National Geodetic Survey. The act repeals previous coordinate systems, including the Pennsylvania Coordinate System of 1927 and 1983. The new system uses International Feet for all distances and coordinates, replacing the U.S.
