This bill creates a new Office of Executive Councils within the General Services Administration to provide centralized administrative support for six major federal executive councils that oversee government acquisition, data, finances, human resources, information technology, and performance improvement. The legislation requires these councils to maintain public websites, develop charters and strategic plans within one year, and serve as advisory bodies to the Office of Management and Budget on federal performance goals. The new office will be headed by an employee designated by the Deputy Director for Management and will have a seven-year sunset provision, meaning it will automatically terminate seven years after the law takes effect. Additionally, the bill restructures the leadership roles of these councils, with the General Services Administrator or other officials taking more prominent positions, and requires the General Services Administration to submit annual reports to Congress for six years detailing the office's activities and costs. The bill does not specify new funding but establishes that the office can only support councils authorized by an act of Congress.
