Plain-English Summary

The bill would require the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to preserve and maintain long-term access to scientific data it collects about weather, oceans, and climate. This ensures that researchers, businesses, and the public can continue to access important environmental information for years to come, rather than losing valuable data due to budget cuts or changing priorities.
