AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services, within 1 year, to create a repository on opendata.hhs.gov of all publicly available data sets generated or maintained by the department. Each data set would have to be machine-readable, include metadata, and be free to access, use, and reuse. The website would have to let people search, sort, and download data at no cost and offer application programming interfaces for automated and bulk access. The Secretary would report to Congress within 2 years and every year after on the data sets posted, how often they are updated, and any constraints delaying publication.
