The Rules Committee decides when a bill is taken from the calendar and discussed on the House floor.
Before most bills can reach the floor of the House, they must clear the Rules Committee. Also, the committee decides whether and under what conditions the full House will consider a measure.
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.
