Under a provision of the 2018 omnibus appropriations act that was passed by Congress and signed by the President earlier this month, all non-confidential Congressional Research Service reports must be made publicly available online within 90 to 270 days.
The Congressional Research Service (CRS) is the non-partisan public policy research arm of the United States Congress. They produce analytical, non-partisan reports on topics of interest to members of Congress. Because of their high quality, CRS reports are excellent resources for legislative or public policy research.
Until now, there had been no comprehensive, official public online source that provided access to this government information. Under the new policy, approximately 3,000 non-classified reports will be released annually.
