To establish the America's Living Library Project, and for other purposes.

H.R. 7832 would establish the America's Living Library Project, a bipartisan initiative to systematically collect, catalog, and sequence genomic information from organisms found on U.S. public lands. The bill would direct the Secretary of the Interior to oversee this effort, working with the U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the Smithsonian Institution to gather biological samples and create a public database of genetic data.

The project aims to create standardized, AI-ready datasets that researchers and innovators could use to develop breakthroughs in medicine, agriculture, and other fields. Proponents argue that biological data from America's diverse public lands represents a strategic national resource that should be preserved and made accessible to American scientists and companies. The bill also includes provisions to engage stakeholders in program implementation and establish proper storage capacity for biological samples.

If enacted, this legislation would create a new federal program to systematically document the genetic diversity of American wildlife and plant life. However, the bill is currently in its early stages and has been referred to multiple House committees for consideration.
