Motion to recommit

A motion to recommit is a parliamentary procedure in the U.S. House of Representatives that allows members to send a bill back to a committee for further review. This can happen just before a final vote on the bill, often to suggest changes or amendments. The motion acts like a request for reconsideration, giving lawmakers a chance to address concerns or issues before the bill is finalized. If the motion passes, the committee can revise the bill based on the feedback. It is a tool for ensuring thorough legislative scrutiny and participation in the lawmaking process.
