Key Points

This bill would close the Advisory Committee on the Records of Congress. This group is currently responsible for advising the House and Senate on how to manage and preserve their historical documents.
The committee would officially end 60 days after the bill is signed. In its place, the Director of the Center for Legislative Archives would have to submit a report every year about how records are being handled.
Key government leaders would be required to meet and review these reports. This includes the Archivist of the United States, the Secretary of the Senate, and the Clerk of the House of Representatives.
The goal of the change is to update how the government tracks its history. It ensures that the people in charge of archives are talking to each other and keeping a close eye on the preservation of important papers.
