AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Environmental Protection Agency and the Departments of the Interior, Energy, Agriculture, and Commerce to each set up a Youth Advisory Council. Each council would have 15 to 25 members aged 16 to 29, appointed for 2-year terms, and at least half would have to come from, live in, or work in disadvantaged communities. The councils would give recommendations on environmental issues affecting youth, including environmental justice, climate change, and pollution reduction, and would report to their agency at least once a year. Meetings would generally be open to the public. The bill would authorize $250,000 per year for each of the five agencies for fiscal years 2027 through 2037.
