Coal advisory council at DOE would return

If enacted, DOE would reestablish the National Coal Council using its November 19, 2021 charter. The council would advise the Energy Secretary on coal and the coal industry. Federal Advisory Committee Act transparency and meeting rules would apply. The usual automatic end date would not apply, so the council would not auto-sunset. The bill would not add funding or change taxes; effects for households would be indirect.
