Elliot Harmon, Electronic Frontier Foundation; California Can Lead the Way in Open Access
"There’s a bill in the California legislature that would be a huge win
for open access to scientific research. The California Assembly
recently passed A.B. 2192
unanimously. We hope to see it pass the Senate soon, and for other
states to follow California’s lead in passing strong open access laws.
Under A.B. 2192, all peer-reviewed, scientific research funded by the
state of California would be made available to the public no later than
a year after publication. Under current law, research funded by the
California Department of Public Health is covered by an open access law,
but that provision is set to expire in 2020. A.B. 2192 would extend it
indefinitely and expand it to cover research funded by any state agency."
