Members of the LegalXML Member Section and the LegalDocML TC, Just FYI this note from Owen Ambur. The post reports the reintroduction of the Statutes at Large Modernization Act, a legislation reform bill that would make all federal laws ever passed available and publicly searchable on Congress.gov in an open, non-proprietary data format. Hope you'll all find this interesting reading! Best, /chet ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Owen Ambur <
