The U.S. Congress passed the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2008, PL-110-161. In Division G, Title II, Section 218 of the law it states: "The Director of the National Institutes of Health shall require that all investigators funded by the NIH submit or have submitted for them to the National Library of Medicine's PubMed Central an electronic version of their final, peer-reviewed manuscripts upon acceptance for publication, to be made publicly available no later than 12 months after the official date of publication: Provided that the NIH shall implement the public access policy in a manner consistent with copyright law."
