What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Consistent Legal Expectations and Access to Records Act" or the "CLEAR Act," aims to clarify how the Freedom of Information Act applies to certain entities. It specifically amends title 5 of the United States Code. The change ensures that entities established under section 3161 are included alongside the Executive Office of the President. This amendment applies to any request made on or after the date the Act is enacted. The scope of the law applies regardless of when the specific records were created.
