Where are revisions to bills made?
A legislative bill goes through an intensive process and is revised during the committee section. After the bill has been voted on by the full committee, they will hold a mark-up section in which the bill is revised and edited. If substantial amendments are made, the committee can order the introduction of a "clean bill" which will include the proposed amendments. This new bill will have a new number and will be sent to the floor while the old bill is discarded. The chamber must approve, change or reject all committee amendments before conducting a final passage vote.
How can the House Rules Committee kill a bill even after it has been recommended by a committee?
The House Rules Committee determines when bills will be heard by the floor. Accordingly, if the Committee is against a particular bill, said bill won't be put on the calendar. So, in essence, the bill stays there until it is put on the calendar- which may be never. Furthermore, the Rules Committee could also have "closed rule" on the bill, meaning it will go to the floor, but it cannot be amended. Due to varying opinions, if a bill can't be modified on the House floor, it will ultimately die there.
