The Federal Advisory Committee Database Act would require the General Services Administration to collect and publish information about federal advisory committees each year. The information would include committee membership, authority, meeting dates, topics discussed, recommendations, and actual and estimated costs. The public website would offer downloadable, machine-readable data and keep past information available according to records schedules. The bill would also require agencies to report committee information accurately, set performance measures, and follow applicable rules. The General Services Administration would review compliance and send Congress a report every two years.
You could use the public website to find information about advisory committee members, activities, recommendations, and costs. The bill does not describe any direct services or benefits for individuals.
The bill authorizes no additional funds. It requires reporting of committees’ operating and staff costs, including estimates for the coming fiscal year.
