Plain-language summary
Amends Executive Order 13045, which established the Task Force on Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks to Children, extending its operation from 6 to 8 years. Changes the Task Force's membership language to reference executive departments and the Environmental Protection Agency rather than cabinet agencies, and requires future reports to also describe the Task Force's accomplishments since the previous report. Converts certain reporting requirements from annual to biennial, including a report referenced in sections 6-601 and 6-603, changing it from an annual submission to a report published every two years. Adds a new provision clarifying that nothing in the order affects the budget, administrative, or legislative functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. Also removes a reference to the Assistant to the President in one membership provision.

Quoted from the order as written. Many orders cite nothing more specific than “the Constitution and the laws”; this reproduces what the order claims, not an assessment of whether it holds.
