# Summary
The GPO Modernization Act of 2024 updates the Government Publishing Office's authorities to modernize how federal government information is made available to the public. The bill expands the GPO's ability to sell government documents without requiring approval from the originating agency, increases pricing flexibility, and allows the GPO to dispose of outdated materials more easily. The legislation establishes a National Collection of United States Government Public Information to ensure permanent free public access to federal publications in both physical and digital formats, with the Superintendent of Documents responsible for cataloging, preserving, and disseminating this information through depository libraries across the country. It also strengthens the Federal Depository Library Program by allowing digital-only depository libraries, requiring the GPO to assess library sustainability, and enabling libraries to substitute digital materials for physical ones after five years. Additionally, the bill grants the GPO Director broader administrative authority, including the ability to appoint up to four senior policymaking staff without competitive procedures and increased flexibility in procurement up to $250,000.
