This legislation, titled the "Advisory Committee on the Records of Congress Sunset Act," aims to disband the Advisory Committee on the Records of Congress . It achieves this by repealing Chapter 27 of Title 44 of the United States Code, which established the committee, effective 60 days after the bill's enactment. In place of the committee, the bill institutes new procedures for overseeing congressional records. The Director of the Center for Legislative Archives will be required to submit an annual report on the management and preservation of these records to the Archivist, the Secretary of the Senate, the Clerk of the House, and relevant congressional committees. Furthermore, the Archivist, Secretary, and Clerk must meet to review these reports and also upon a new individual assuming any of those roles, ensuring continued oversight of congressional recordkeeping.
