| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 | | Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Open | 5 | | Operating Standard Act. | 6 | | Section 5. Findings and purposes. | 7 | | (a) The General Assembly finds that:
| 8 | | (1) the State of Illinois data portal, | 9 | | data.illinois.gov, empowers the public to access and use | 10 | | public data collected and maintained by the State of | 11 | | Illinois and the federal government;
| 12 | | (2) the State of Illinois is committed to be a national | 13 | | leader in improving access to public data sets for all | 14 | | citizens, and to encourage entrepreneurs and innovators to | 15 | | draw on this data for the benefit of all in the Land of | 16 | | Lincoln;
| 17 | | (3) the State and the municipalities of Illinois | 18 | | collect information and data on numerous topics including | 19 | | services available to the residents of Illinois;
| 20 | | (4) finding and utilizing government data, data that | 21 | | should be readily accessible, is often burdensome for both | 22 | | developers and the general public;
| 23 | | (5) government information should be organized with |
| | | HB1040 Engrossed | - 2 - | LRB098 03825 HLH 33841 b |
|
| 1 | | consistency and should be freely available; and
| 2 | | (6) meeting the State's commitment to providing open | 3 | | data will require the adoption of an open data operating | 4 | | standard and utilization of a cloud-based open data | 5 | | platform for the State's open data portal, coordinated | 6 | | strategic planning, where appropriate and feasible, by | 7 | | agencies as to enterprise application portfolio | 8 | | management, and will require the State to make its open | 9 | | data portal available to all units of government within the | 10 | | State including, but not limited to, municipalities, | 11 | | counties and public universities statewide, so that | 12 | | everyone may participate in the open data movement.

| 14 | | (1) to establish and implement a statewide commitment | 15 | | to fully adopting an open operating standard, because | 16 | | making public data available online using open standards | 17 | | will make the operation of government across the State of | 18 | | Illinois more transparent, effective and accountable to | 19 | | the public. A statewide policy of open data will streamline | 20 | | intra-governmental and inter-governmental communication | 21 | | and interoperability, permit the public to assist in | 22 | | identifying efficient solutions for government, promote | 23 | | innovative strategies for social progress, and create | 24 | | economic opportunities;
