This bill requires the General Services Administration (GSA) to establish and maintain a comprehensive public database of all federal advisory committees. Agencies must regularly provide detailed information about their advisory committees, including committee names, charters, membership details, meeting summaries, costs, and recommendations issued. The GSA must publish this information annually on a public website in a machine-readable format that allows downloading and maintains historical records. The bill also requires agency heads to establish standardized guidelines for managing their advisory committees and to report compliance information to the GSA, which will submit biennial reports to Congress with recommendations. No additional federal funding is authorized for implementing the act, meaning agencies must use existing resources to comply with the new requirements.
