OPEN Government Data Act

The OPEN Government Data Act, also known as Bill 114 s 2852, is a piece of legislation that aims to make government data more accessible and transparent to the public. The bill requires federal agencies to publish their data in a machine-readable format that is easily accessible to the public. This data includes information on government spending, regulations, and other important government activities.

The OPEN Government Data Act also establishes a Chief Data Officer within each federal agency to oversee the implementation of the bill and ensure that data is being properly managed and made available to the public. Additionally, the bill requires agencies to create and maintain an inventory of their data assets, which will help to identify valuable data that can be shared with the public.

Overall, the OPEN Government Data Act is designed to promote transparency and accountability within the federal government by making government data more readily available to the public. By requiring agencies to publish their data in a machine-readable format and appointing Chief Data Officers to oversee data management, the bill aims to improve government efficiency and increase public trust in government institutions.
