The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is a federal agency that oversees futures markets and derivatives trading, and it relies on an advisory committee of industry experts and stakeholders to provide guidance on policy decisions. This bill would make changes to how that advisory committee operates, likely improving how it's structured, who serves on it, or how often it meets and reports to Congress. The changes would affect traders, financial companies, farmers, and other businesses that use futures markets to manage their risks.
