Bill > HR6899

This bill, titled the CFTC Advisory Committee Improvement Act of 2025, amends the Commodity Exchange Act to enhance how advisory committees at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the U.S. agency that regulates futures and options markets, are managed. Specifically, it clarifies that the CFTC must establish these committees to facilitate discussions and communication regarding its regulatory work, and that their activities will include holding necessary meetings and submitting reports and recommendations, including any dissenting opinions, to the CFTC. Importantly, any advisory committee established under this new provision will be subject to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, a law that governs the creation and operation of federal advisory committees, ensuring transparency and public access. The bill also allows existing advisory committees, those already chartered by the CFTC or established under the previous version of the law, to continue operating under their current rules until their charter is renewed or until September 30, 2026, whichever comes first.
