Committees¶
Overview¶
Committees are an important part of the legislative process. Bills are assigned by the Speaker of the House or the Senate President Pro Tempore to a standing committee upon “first reading”. It is the role of the committee to closely examine bills, take public testimony, and consider whether to recommend to the main legislative body passage of a bill in its original or amended form.
There are 25 standing committees in the House and 21 standing committees in the Senate for the 118th General Assembly.
