In order to ensure that address, road, and boundary-related GIS data can be effectively used and integrated at a statewide level, standards are needed for attribute data consistency and the development of spatial data by entities creating them with geographic information systems (GIS). Pursuant to Section 63-9D-4 NMSA 1978, all local governing bodies in New Mexico provide 911-related GIS datasets to either the Division or a designated third-party, as follows:

1. A. Local governing bodies may either perform this task themselves or establish an agreement with a different governing body or third-party vendor to perform this task on their behalf.
2. B. The GIS feature classes and associated attribution data shall be compliant with data standards established by the Division.
3. C. The geographic data shall be spatially complete for each GIS entity’s defined area of responsibility, but must not extend past their geographic area of responsibility. Local GIS staff shall collaborate with neighboring agencies to ensure road and boundary data align with neighboring datasets.
4. D. Road centerlines shall be split at 911 and civic boundaries, as determined by the division, and road ranges in the resulting road segments shall be updated accordingly.
5. E. GIS data shall be synchronized with legacy MSAG and ALI data to maintain synchronization rates at or above the required match rate established by the division. Discrepancies may require modifying either GIS datasets or datasets traditionally maintained by telecom companies. Depending on a number a factors, GIS staff may either be asked to work directly with telecom companies or through an intermediary vendor or platform.
6. F. Local governing bodies shall update GIS datasets to reflect changes within the timeframe established by the Division. Local governing bodies shall also update related datasets separately if required by the Division.
