On March 20, 2025, President Trump signed an Executive Order aimed at enhancing transparency and accountability across federal agencies by dismantling information silos. The order mandates that agencies provide authorized officials with real-time access to all unclassified records, including data from state-run programs funded by the federal government. Agencies are required to revise policies that restrict data sharing and to report changes to the Office of Management and Budget within 30 days. This EO overrides previous restrictions and calls for an assessment of classified information policies to remove barriers to transparency.
President Trump’s Executive Order represents a significant pivot in federal data management, aiming to eliminate information silos that inhibit transparency and accountability.
The EO mandates that federal agencies enhance data access, foster collaboration, and improve operational efficiency through immediate access to unclassified records and systems.
