H.R. 1320 The Federal Advisory Committee Act Amendments of 2009

Federal Advisory Committee Act Amendments of 2009 - Amends the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) to require appointments to advisory committees to be made without regard to political affiliation or activity, unless otherwise required by federal statute. Directs each agency head to: (1) ensure that no individual who has a conflict of interest is appointed unless the agency head determines that the need for the individual's services outweighs the potential impacts of the conflict; (2) require that each individual to be appointed inform the agency of any actual or potential conflict; and (3) ensure that advisory committee reports are the result of the committee's independent judgment.
