Executive Order 13056: Further Amendment to Executive Order 13017, Advisory Commission on Consumer Protection and Quality in the Health Care Industry

President: Bill Clinton

Raised the maximum membership of the health-care quality advisory commission from 32 to 34.

Status: Completed/expired. Is Executive Order 13056 still in effect? No. Executive Order 13056 is completed or expired. See Federal Register record.

What does Executive Order 13056 do?

EO 13056 made one change to EO 13017: it replaced the commission membership limit of 32 with 34. This allowed two additional members on the temporary Advisory Commission on Consumer Protection and Quality in the Health Care Industry. The commission later completed its reports, and EO 13138 revoked its establishing order and amendments in 1999.

Administration position: The amendment changed only the size of an advisory commission; it neither authorized agency funding nor established enforceable patient rights.
