Blog: David Loshin« Blog-rolling and Business Rules | Main | Aging Dog, New Tricks » More on the Data Quality ActIn today's Washington Post, there was an article about the dismissal of a challenge by the Salt Institute of a report issued by the Department of Health and Human Services suggesting that Americans would benefit from reduced salt intake. The dismissal of the challenge under the Data Quality Act effectively neuters the regulation, which has been the source of controversy since its two paragraphs were inserted into legislation early in the current president Bush's administration. Dissenting views are provided by the Center for Regulatory Effectiveness, who represents industry in challenges under the Data Quality Act, and the Center for Progressive Reform, who seeks to reduce the number of what they call "frivolous" law suits.

Looks like the main achievement of the Data Quality Act is to make a lot of lawyers very wealthy. Since data quality can be subjective or debatable these cases could drag on for years.
