Mr. De Vries,

In North Carolina, we have an executive order to develop a GILS pilot 
or prototype.  It is "related to" our amended public records law, 
which requires all state and local agencies to index their databases. 
You can obtain a copy of the executive order, our GILS vision statement, 
and other related documents at our NC GILS development Web site, which is 

   http://www.ncgils.state.nc.us/NCGILS

Other states that are developing GILS include Washington, New York, 
Florida, South Carolina, Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri, as well as the 
city of Philadelphia.  I hope this information helps.
