Prohibition on Establishing ESG-Related Advisory Committees

This bill aims to prohibit the establishment of new government advisory committees focused on environmental, social, or governance (ESG) issues. This means the government will not be able to form expert groups to advise on these specific areas. Existing committees of this type will be terminated, and citizens will have the right to report violations of this prohibition to court.
Key points
The federal government will be prohibited from establishing new advisory committees that focus on environmental (e.g., climate change, emissions), social (e.g., race, gender, sexual orientation), and governance (how private entities are run, compensation, structure based on race or sex) aspects.
All existing advisory committees dealing with these issues will be immediately terminated.
Any person can file a lawsuit if they believe an advisory committee was established in violation of the new rules or was not terminated when it should have been.
