Committee on Rules

The Committee on Rules is a group within a legislative body, such as the U.S. House of Representatives, that establishes the procedures for how bills and resolutions are debated and voted on. It determines the rules that govern discussions, including time limits and the amendments allowed. This committee plays a crucial role in shaping the legislative process, ensuring that the workflow is organized and efficient. By setting these rules, the committee helps to facilitate order and fairness in legislative proceedings, impacting how laws are proposed, reviewed, and passed.
