In the legislative process, a bill typically goes through a committee system, where various committees are responsible for reviewing, amending, and deciding the fate of proposed legislation. In the U.S. Congress, for example, each chamber has multiple specialized committees that evaluate bills before they reach the floor for debate. The committee can either recommend the bill for passage, amend it, or choose to ignore it, effectively determining whether it advances further in the legislative process.
