S 5093 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Advisory Committee on the Records of Congress Sunset Act of 2024

This bill terminates the Advisory Committee on the Records of Congress by removing its legal foundation in federal law. It amends Title 44 of the U.S. Code to eliminate Chapter 27 (which established the committee) effective 60 days after enactment. The bill does not create new requirements but ends the committee's existence, meaning the committee will no longer operate or provide advice on Congress's records management. This directly affects the committee itself and the officials (Archivist, Clerk, Secretary) who previously interacted with it under the committee's framework.
