This bill directs the Secretary of Commerce to establish a grant program that provides funding to states to improve their data infrastructure and systems. The grants, ranging from $1.5 million to $5 million per state, support projects that enable better data sharing, analysis, and coordination across state government agencies to make them more efficient and effective. The program aims to modernize state information technology systems, strengthen data security, advance analytics capabilities, and ensure privacy protections comply with all applicable laws. The legislation authorizes $41 million annually for fiscal years 2024 through 2028 to fund these grants. State governments are eligible to apply for the grants by submitting applications to the Commerce Department with information the agency determines appropriate.
