H.R.4072

The Pro Codes Act of 2025 amends the U.S. Code to ensure public access to technical standards incorporated into laws and regulations.

The Pro Codes Act of 2025 amends title 17 of the United States Code to reaffirm the importance of public access to technical standards and voluntary consensus standards incorporated by reference into laws and regulations. The Act mandates that standards development organizations make their standards publicly accessible online at no cost, in a format that includes a searchable table of contents and index. This ensures the public can read the current, accurate version of a standard without interfering with the revenue model of the standards development organizations.
