SHARE IT Act

S 3594, the SHARE IT Act, requires U.S. federal agencies to share custom-developed software code (created by or for the government) through public or private repositories within 210 days of enactment. It mandates agencies to make metadata about this code publicly accessible and develop policies for sharing, reuse, and security oversight, while exempting classified code or code posing privacy risks. The bill directly affects all federal agencies by requiring them to reduce duplicated software development efforts, improve system interoperability, and enhance security through shared code review. Key mechanisms include standardized reporting on code reuse, quarterly repository updates, and annual congressional reports tracking agency compliance and exemptions.
