Rep. Nick Langworthy emphasized that the SHARE IT Act mandates agencies share their custom code, which would improve government efficiency and save taxpayer dollars.
The bill, originally introduced in the Senate, aims to foster innovation by allowing federal agencies to repurpose existing software solutions, minimizing costly duplications.
Langworthy pointed out the inefficiencies resulting from agencies operating independently, causing unnecessary expenditures as contractors replicate existing solutions instead of leveraging shared resources.
This proposal addresses the inadequate implementation of a 2016 policy that instructed agencies to share their source code, which has not been fully utilized.
