Yes, a standing committee can effectively kill a bill by voting to reject it or by not taking any action on it, which is known as "tabling" the bill. This often occurs during the committee's review process, where members evaluate the bill's merits. If a bill is not reported out of committee, it typically does not advance to the full legislative body for consideration.
The committees decide if the bill is "good" or not to become a law.
when does a bill first go to a standing committee
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.
