Congressional committees have the job of deciding what needs to be added into a bill, prior to reporting it out for a vote. Committees can do research to improve the bill, suggest changes or modifications, or even express what it contains in a way they believe will make it more understandable. Often, when committee members decide they do not like a bill, they will recommend that it be tabled-- not voted on yet, since they believe it is not good enough in its current form to gain passage.
The bill is tabled, or set aside.
One a bill is reported, the committee sends the report back to the chamber and the bill is placed on the calendar. When the bill is sent back to the chamber it will have a written statement with it telling why the committee is in favor of the bill. There may also be a statement from those on the committee who oppose the bill.

When a bill is introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives, a bill clerk assigns it a number that begins with H.R. A reading clerk then reads the bill to all the Representatives, and the Speaker of the House sends the bill to one of the House standing committees. When the bill reaches committee, the committee members review, research, and revise the bill before voting on whether or not to send the bill back to the House floor.Through the multiple referral process, the bill is sent to several standing committees. If the committee members would like more information before deciding if the bill should be sent to the House floor, the bill is sent to a subcommittee. While in subcommittee, the bill is closely examined and expert opinions are gathered before it is sent back to the committee for approval.
