## Summary

**Strengthen transparency and quality of influential federal information** by forcing updated guidance, agency implementation, and public access to the factual evidence behind rules and guidance. The bill would set one-year deadlines, clarify key terms, and require open-data formatting where law allows. - The Office of Management and Budget Director would be required to update Information Quality Act guidelines and publish them on the OMB website within one year. - Heads of covered federal agencies would have one year after the Director’s update to revise and publish their own guidelines, require use of the best reasonably available information fit-for-purpose, and provide administrative correction mechanisms for influential information. - Members of the public and regulated parties would get earlier access to critical factual material underpinning rulemaking and guidance, with requirements to cite sources and to make revisions available in a timely way unless law limits disclosure. *The bill does not authorize additional appropriations and is designed to be implemented within existing funds so it should not increase federal spending.*
