Executive Order 13591: Continuance of Certain Federal Advisory Committees

President: Barack Obama

Extended two advisory bodies and adjusted the terms or administration of several others.

Status: Completed/expired. Is Executive Order 13591 still in effect? No. Executive Order 13591 is completed or expired. See Federal Register record.

What does Executive Order 13591 do?

EO 13591 continued the National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity and the President’s Advisory Council on Financial Capability through September 2013. It also reestablished a prevention and health advisory group, changed several committee names or memberships and corrected earlier orders. These were time-limited housekeeping measures: EO 13652 superseded the principal continuation provisions, while later orders separately renewed, reorganized or allowed the bodies to end.

Administration position: Continuing or amending an advisory committee did not give it regulatory power or permanently fund the program it advised.
