This bill establishes a committee tasked with studying the data sources of all entities operated by the three branches of government that are or could be made available to the public. The committee will identify the formats of these data sources and recommend legislation aimed at standardizing the types and formats of data output from various governmental entities. The committee will consist of four members from the House of Representatives, appointed by the Speaker, and one member from the Senate, appointed by the President of the Senate. Members will receive mileage compensation for their duties.

The committee's responsibilities include evaluating current public data, identifying potential additional data for public release, and exploring standard data formats. It will also focus on protecting personally identifiable information. The committee is required to report its preliminary findings by November 1, 2025, and its final recommendations by November 1, 2026. The bill will take effect upon passage, and it includes new legal language to define terms such as "department" and "data," while no deletions from current law are specified.
