CRS Accessibility Act Introduced

On November 21, Rep. Christopher Shays (R-CT) introduced the Congressional Research Accessibility Act (H.R. 3630), To make available on the Internet, for purposes of access and retrieval by the public, certain information available through the Congressional Research Service Web site.

  • The press release from Rep. Shays states: “CRS products are created with taxpayers’ dollars and the taxpayers should have access to the information. There is no logical reason why this information should be held under lock and key.”
  • See my recent posting on limitations to public access to CRS reports here and my posting from February 13, Senate Resolution on CRS Reports.
