Federal Advisory Committee Database Act: Enhancing Government Transparency
This act increases the transparency of federal advisory committees, which assist the government in decision-making. It provides citizens with easier access to information about committee members, their objectives, costs, and recommendations. The goal is to enhance transparency and enable citizens to better understand how decisions affecting their lives are made.
Key points
All federal advisory committees will be required to regularly publish detailed information about their composition, objectives, costs, and work results on a public website.
This information will be easily accessible and downloadable, making it simpler for citizens to monitor committee activities.
The act also mandates that government agencies regularly review committees' compliance with new data collection and publication requirements.
