Summary
This bill amends the Commodity Exchange Act to modernize the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's (CFTC) authority to conduct research, development, demonstration, and information programs. The bill authorizes the CFTC to establish programs focused on understanding emerging technologies, exploring their potential effects on commodity and financial markets, and developing educational materials for market participants. It grants the CFTC expanded procurement authority to enter into non-traditional transactions (outside standard federal contracting rules) and to accept non-monetary contributions such as access to facilities, data sharing, and services from external parties, subject to safeguards against conflicts of interest and with mandatory congressional reporting requirements through October 1, 2031.
