The January 6 Commission would study the facts and circumstances surrounding the January 6th attack on the Capitol as well as the influencing factors that may have provoked the attack on our democracy. The House considered and passed H.R. 3233 on May 19, 2021. This Insight provides an overview of congressional advisory commission structures and outlines key features of the proposed January 6 Commission in H.R. 3233. What Are Congressional Advisory Commissions? Historically, Congress has used advisory commissions to assist public policy development. Advisory commissions can provide Congress with a potentially high-visibility forum to assemble expertise that might not exist within the legislative environment and allow for the in-depth examination of complex, crosscutting policy issues. Congressional advisory commissions provide advice, develop recommendations, or find solutions to public policy problems, and may include nongovernmental policy experts. A congressional advisory commission is generally defined as a multimember independent entity that is established by Congress, exists temporarily, serves in an advisory capacity, is appointed in part or whole by Members of Congress, and reports to Congress.
