Legislative Branch Agencies Clarification Act
The Legislative Branch Agencies Clarification Act aims to modify the appointment and removal processes for certain legislative branch officers, including the Librarian of Congress and the Director of the Government Publishing Office. It also seeks to remove the supervisory authority of the Library of Congress over the Copyright Office. The bill outlines specific procedures for appointments and removals, emphasizing non-political criteria and establishing oversight mechanisms.
