During the 117th Congress, one new commission was established and two commissions were activated. Congress authorized the Great Lakes Authority (GLA) in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (P.L. 117-328). Also during the 117th Congress, the Senate confirmed the nominations of federal co-chairpersons for the previously authorized Southeast Crescent Regional Commission (SCRC) and Southwest Border Regional Commission (SBRC). This Insight summarizes actions taken in the 117th Congress related to selected commissions, and includes considerations for the 118th Congress. See CRS Reports IF 11744 and IF 11396 for considerations regarding forming and starting a commission, respectively.
