A BILL

To enact section 149.65 of the Revised Code to establish an online catalog of public data at data.Ohio.gov.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:

Section 1. That section 149.65 of the Revised Code be enacted to read as follows:

Sec. 149.65. As used in this section, "public record" has the meaning defined in section 149.43 of the Revised Code.

The auditor of state shall establish, administer, and operate a web site to function as a portal and catalog where public records and data sets of public records, created by state government and other public offices, can be located and accessed by the public online. The web site shall offer access to public records or data sets of public records posted online by public offices through providing web links to web sites of public offices that contain such information. The web site may not post public records or data sets of public records obtained from public offices directly to the web site. The web site may post original data or data sets that contain original content or summarized content of data sets obtained from public offices.

The auditor shall consult with the state librarian regarding the collection, aggregation, presentation, and accessibility of data in relation to the web site.

The web site shall be registered at data.Ohio.gov. The state shall consider participation and affiliation of data.Ohio.gov with data.gov, the official online data catalog of the United States government.

The auditor of state shall adopt rules under Chapter 119. of the Revised Code that specify policies and procedures for the administration and operation of data.Ohio.gov. The rules shall include a requirement that the auditor may not charge a fee in relation to data.Ohio.gov. The auditor of state shall make every effort to ensure that data provided online at data.Ohio.gov via web link or posted as original data is open format and machine readable.
