Pro Codes Act

Protecting and Enhancing Public Access to Codes Act or the Pro Codes Act

This bill modifies copyright protections for works that have been adopted by reference into law.

Specifically, if a work that is otherwise subject to copyright protection has been adopted or incorporated by reference, in full or in part, into any law or regulation, the original work shall be protected under copyright only if the copyright owner makes the work available for free on a publicly accessible website.
