Five library groups; The American Association of Law Libraries, American Library Association, Association of Research Libraries, Medical Library Association, and the Special Libraries Association issued a Press Release praising the CURES Bill. The bill includes a provision making taxpayer-funded biomedical research available to all potential users.

Here is the portion explaining what the bill is designed to do:

Among the requirements of the bill is the establishment of free public access
to articles stemming from research funded by agencies of the Department of
Health and Human Services (DHHS), including NIH, the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Under the
proposed legislation, articles published in a peer-reviewed journal would be
required to be made publicly available within months via NIH's popular PubMed
Central online digital archive. The groups note that although some final
electronic manuscripts are made available now on PubMed, many are not—and delays in posting research on PubMed sometimes stall public access to important
articles for up to a year. "Depriving researchers and members of the public of
the findings of research funded by taxpayers is not only wrong, it can also slow
down the discovery of new and improved treatment for diseases," said Miriam
Nisbet, a spokesperson for the library coalition.
