The bill would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to create an online repository of publicly available data sets generated or maintained by the department. The repository must allow free searching, sorting, and downloading, and provide machine-readable data, metadata, and tools for automated access. The Secretary would report to Congress on the data sets and any limits on publishing more data.
If enacted, the repository would be available to the public within one year. People could access and reuse its data sets at no cost, including through bulk downloads and automated tools.
The bill requires data access to be free. It does not specify funding or estimate implementation costs.
