Part A of title XI of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1301—1320b–5) is amended by inserting after section 1121 the following: The head of the department or agency responsible for administering a program funded under title III, IV, IX, XII, XVI, or subtitle A of title XX, or section 511, shall, in consultation with an interagency work group established by the Office of Management and Budget and considering State perspectives, designate data exchange standards for necessary categories of information that a State agency operating the program is required to electronically exchange with another State agency under applicable Federal law. The data exchange standards designated under paragraph
(1)shall, to the extent practicable, be nonproprietary and interoperable. In designating data exchange standards under this subsection, the Secretary shall, to the extent practicable, incorporate— interoperable standards developed and maintained by an international voluntary consensus standards body, as defined by the Office of Management and Budget; interoperable standards developed and maintained by intergovernmental partnerships, such as the National Information Exchange Model; and interoperable standards developed and maintained by Federal entities with authority over contracting and financial assistance. The head of the department or agency responsible for administering a program referred to in subsection (a)(1) shall, in consultation with an interagency work group established by the Office of Management and Budget, and considering State government perspectives, designate data exchange standards to govern Federal reporting and exchange requirements under applicable Federal law. The data exchange reporting standards required by paragraph
(1)shall, to the extent practicable— incorporate a widely accepted, non-proprietary, searchable, computer-readable format; be consistent with and implement applicable accounting principles; be implemented in a manner that is cost-effective and improves program efficiency and effectiveness; and be capable of being continually upgraded as necessary. In designating data exchange standards under this subsection, the Secretary shall, to the extent practicable, incorporate existing nonproprietary standards, such as the eXtensible Markup Language. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to require a change to existing data exchange standards for Federal reporting about a program referred to in subsection (a)(1), if the head of the department or agency responsible for administering the program finds the standards to be effective and efficient. . Section 105 of the Child and Family Services Improvement and Innovation Act ( Public Law 112–34 ), sections 2104 and 4003 of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 ( Public Law 112–96 ), and subpart 3 of part B of title IV, and section 911, of the Social Security Act are each repealed. Section 411 of the Social Security Act ( 42 U.S.C. 611 ) is amended by striking subsection (d). This Act and the amendments and repeals made by this Act shall take effect 2 years after the date of the enactment of this Act.
