This bill, HB9360, proposes to end the Advisory Committee on the Records of Congress. This committee is responsible for making recommendations about how to manage and preserve historical records of Congress. The bill aims to sunset, or end, this committee and potentially redirect its functions to other entities. The bill was introduced on June 18, 2026, and was referred to the House Committee on House Administration on the same day. On June 24, 2026, the committee held a meeting to consider the bill, made changes, and voted to report it back to the full House with an amendment. The bill is still in the early stages of the legislative process.
The bill would primarily affect the Advisory Committee on the Records of Congress, as well as any staff or operations related to this committee. It could also impact how historical records of Congress are managed and preserved in the future. The sunsetting of this committee might lead to changes in how recommendations are made for congressional records, possibly involving other committees or departments.
As of June 24, 2026, the bill has been reported out of committee with an amendment and is awaiting further action in the House. The next steps will involve more debate and potential votes in the House before it can move to the Senate for consideration.
