This order amends Executive Order 13112 and directs actions to continue
coordinated Federal prevention and control efforts related to invasive
species. This order maintains the National Invasive Species Council
(Council) and the Invasive Species Advisory Committee; expands the
membership of the Council; clarifies the operations of the Council;
incorporates considerations of human and environmental health, climate
change, technological innovation, and other emerging priorities into Federal
efforts to address invasive species; and strengthens coordinated,
cost-efficient Federal action.
