HR 6899 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
CFTC Advisory Committee Improvement Act of 2025
To amend the Commodity Exchange Act to improve the administration of advisory committees at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Summary
This bill amends the Commodity Exchange Act to clarify how the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) establishes and operates advisory committees. The bill specifies that advisory committees serve as vehicles for discussion and communication on matters related to CFTC regulatory activities and must hold meetings at necessary intervals and submit reports and recommendations to the Commission. The bill requires CFTC advisory committees to be subject to the Federal Advisory Committee Act. Existing advisory committees may continue operating under their current charters or the previous law until their charter is renewed or September 30, 2026, whichever occurs first.
