Show full summary

The Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology could partner with nongovernmental organizations to build the portal.
- A pilot grant program would support hosting standards meetings in the United States. Grants could cover up to 50 percent of anticipated hosting costs and pay for meeting planning, venue expenses, and other hosting needs.
- Federal agencies would have to notify the Secretary of State and the NIST Director of their participation in standards activities, and the Director would brief Congress within one year with an overview of standards work, an analysis of U.S. hosting opportunities, and recommendations to boost participation.
*Would authorize $5.0 million in appropriations for 2024–2028 to support the pilot program, increasing federal spending by that amount.*
