Easier Online Access to Government Reports
This new law establishes a central online portal where citizens can find reports prepared by government agencies for Congress. This will make important information about government actions more easily accessible to everyone, increasing transparency and allowing for a better understanding of how decisions impact daily life.
Key points
All government reports in one place: A portal will be created where you can find electronic copies of federal agency reports required by law to be submitted to Congress.
Easy search and download: The portal will allow searching for reports by title, agency, date, keywords, and other criteria, as well as downloading them in an open format.
Increased transparency: The act aims to increase access to public information, allowing citizens to better track government actions and their impact on society.
Exceptions to publication: Certain reports related to national security, intelligence, or those a Congressional committee decides to withhold, will not be published on the portal.
