A panel newly remade by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will no longer be convening in March, the Department of Health and Human Services says.

The Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC), which offers recommendations to federal officials regarding autism-related issues such as research, “will not meet later this month,” a spokesperson for the health department told news outlets in a statement on March 7.
