They review it and make recommendations on whather it should be changed in any way or voted on just the way it is.

They include members from both houses of Congress who conduct investigations or special studies.Conference committees are special joint committees that reconcile differences in bills passed by the House and Senate.

The house and senate appropriations committees and their subcommittees handle appropriations bills.
The speaker decides what bills go to which committees and presides over the session.
Appropriation bills begin in the House of Representatives.
The Senate and the House of Representatives are not committees but they do have committees that do much of the work in the legislative branch. Both the House and the Senate depend upon committees to effectively consider the bills that are proposed each session. A Senator or Representative would be unable to read and handle all the bills that are introduced or studied in the course of a session. The committee system serves several functions. It allows members of Congress to divide their work among smaller groups. Lawmakers can become specialists in specific fields. Committees select those bills that deserve further consideration. By holding hearings, committees can investigate and help the public learn about the problems facing the nation.
The standing committees are the permanent, predominant committees in the Congress where the bills are sent. They review, change and write bills.

The committees do not pass them.
