Clarifies how the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) gets advice from expert groups.

This bill would set clear rules for how the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) gets advice from its expert groups. It would make sure these groups follow standard government rules for openness and how they operate. This would make the CFTC's advice process clearer and more consistent.

What Would Change

Today, advisory committees at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission operate under existing rules that are less explicitly defined. If this bill passes, the rules for these committees would be clearly spelled out in law. They would also be required to follow the Federal Advisory Committee Act, bringing more standardized operations and transparency to how the CFTC gets expert advice.

Key Provisions

Makes sure these advisory committees follow the Federal Advisory Committee Act, which sets rules for transparency and operation.
