Changes how leaders of the Library of Congress and Government Publishing Office are chosen.
This bill would change how the top leaders of the Library of Congress and the Government Publishing Office are picked and removed. It would also make the Copyright Office more independent from the Library of Congress, giving its chief a set term and more control. Additionally, it would give employees at the Government Publishing Office new workplace protections and a merit-based hiring system.
Today, the President appoints the Librarian of Congress and the Director of the Government Publishing Office, with Senate approval. After this bill, a commission of top congressional leaders would appoint and remove these officials. Also, the Librarian of Congress currently has supervisory authority over the Copyright Office. This bill would make the Copyright Office more independent, with its own Inspector General and a Register of Copyrights serving a set term.
