h 263 8 54682 1233637200 false 1237176000 2 801 4274 This bill seeks to amend copyright code and create a new category of copyrighted works to the effect of reversing the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Public Access Policy. This would prohibit the government from requiring scholarly journals to make federally funded studies accessible to the public. Proponents of the bill are largely limited to the American Association of Publishers and the bill’s sponsors, namely <a href="http://www.opencongress.org/people/show/400080_john_conyers">Rep. John Conyers</a>, who introduced it for the second time after its exact replica, H.R. 6845, died in the 110th Congress. 111 400080
