Nextgov: Rep. Paul Ryan’s bill to overhaul how agencies use data to evaluate the effectiveness of their programs is moving fast.
He introduced the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act to the House Tuesday and the House Oversight Committee passed it by voice vote Thursday. The bill includes a version of the OPEN Government Data Act, which also appears as part of the Senate’s annual defense authorization bill. The versions do have differences, most substantially that Ryan’s version requires all federal agencies appoint a chief data officer.
Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., introduced the companion bill to the Senate.
