Massachusetts, Texas, and Wisconsin 

State Advisory Committees (SAC) are 

statutorily mandated advisory 

committees of the U.S. Commission on 

Civil Rights pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 

§ 1975a. Under the charter for the SACs, 

the purpose is to provide advice and 

recommendations to the U.S. 

Commission on Civil Rights 

(Commission) on a broad range of civil 

rights matters in its respective state that 

pertain to alleged deprivations of voting 

rights or discrimination or denials of 

equal protection of the laws because of 

race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, 

or national origin, or the administration 

of justice. SACs also provide assistance 

to the Commission in its statutory 

obligation to serve as a national 

clearinghouse for civil rights 

information. 

The SAC consists of not more than 19 

members, each of whom will serve a 

two-year term. Members serve as unpaid 

Special Government Employees who are 

reimbursed for travel and expenses. To 

be eligible to be on a SAC, applicants 

must be residents of the respective state 

and have demonstrated expertise or 

interest in civil rights issues. 

The Commission is an independent, 

bipartisan agency established by 

Congress in 1957 to focus on matters of 

race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, 

or national origin. Its mandate is to: 

• Investigate complaints from citizens 

that their voting rights are being 

deprived, 

• Study and collect information about 

discrimination or denials of equal 

protection under the law, 

• Appraise federal civil rights laws 

and policies, 

• Serve as a national clearinghouse 

on discrimination laws, 

• Submit reports and findings and 

recommendations to the President and 

the Congress, and 

• Issue public service announcements 

to discourage discrimination. 

The Commission invites any 

individual who is eligible to be 

appointed a member of the Arkansas, 

Florida, Michigan, Massachusetts, 

Texas, or Wisconsin Advisory 

Committee covered by this notice to 

send a letter of interest and a resume to
