Review and abolish advisory committees not required by law
What the document says“Upon entering office, all such committees should be reviewed regarding whether they are required by statute and abolished if they are not.”
The chapter states that many of the department's advisory committees are populated by activists from organizations it describes as openly hostile to conservative principles who use the committees to impede conservative policy. It asks that the membership of surviving committees be reconstituted.
What the document actually says“Upon entering office, all such committees should be reviewed regarding whether they are required by statute and abolished if they are not.”
Check which of these panels the law requires. Close the rest.
The department takes advice from outside panels. The book says some are stacked against it. It says panels not required by law should close.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. EO 14354 continues 22 advisory committees created by the President until September 30, 2027 and supersedes the matching sections of the 2023 continuance order. It is the periodic continuance order for presidential committees, and none of the committees on its list belongs to the Commerce Department. It orders no review of whether a committee is required by statute, abolishes none by name, and says nothing about who sits on them. The other candidates, EO 14378 and EO 14397, continue one specific council at the Federal Emergency Management Agency. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.
