U.S. Senators Todd Young (R-Ind.) and Gary Peters (D-Mich.) have introduced bipartisan legislation aimed at modernizing federal agencies' data management practices. The proposed bill seeks to extend the Chief Data Officers (CDO) Council, which was initially established by the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018. The new legislation mandates that the Council evaluate federal data management practices to improve data quality, access, and transparency.
