Legislative Committee

A legislative committee is a group of lawmakers within a legislative body, such as Congress or a state legislature, tasked with reviewing, analyzing, and shaping proposed laws (bills). These committees focus on specific areas like health, education, or finance, allowing members to examine issues in detail, question witnesses, and amend legislation before it is presented to the full chamber for a vote. This process ensures that laws are thoroughly considered and refined, facilitating informed decision-making and effective governance.
