Committee on Public Petitions

The Committee on Public Petitions is a group within a legislative body that reviews and considers formal requests or concerns submitted by citizens. These petitions often address issues like government policies, public services, or laws. The committee examines the petitions, asks for information or clarification if needed, and then reports back with recommendations or actions for the larger legislative body to consider. Its purpose is to ensure public voices are heard and to foster accountability and responsiveness from government institutions.
