Creates a free online hub for all public health data from the Department of Health and Human Services.

This bill would create a single, free online hub where anyone could find and use public health data from the Department of Health and Human Services. It would make it easier for the public, researchers, and developers to access important health information. Currently, there isn't one easy-to-use place for all this data.

What Would Change

Today, there isn't one easy-to-find, comprehensive online place for all public health data from the Department of Health and Human Services. After this bill, the Department would create a central website where all its publicly available health data would be free, easy for computers to read, and simple for anyone to access and use.

Key Provisions

Requires the Department of Health and Human Services to create a free online hub for all its publicly available health data within one year.
Ensures all data on the website would be easy for computers to read and use, available for free, and include helpful descriptions.
Makes sure the website would let people search, sort, and download data for free, and would be updated regularly.
Requires the Department to report to Congress each year on the data available and any challenges in adding more.
