What is a committee veto?
A committee veto is a procedural mechanism used in legislative bodies where a committee can effectively block a bill or proposal from advancing to the full assembly. This occurs when the committee decides not to report the bill out for consideration, often due to lack of support or disagreement among its members. Consequently, the bill does not reach the floor for debate or a vote, effectively nullifying its chances of becoming law. This process allows committees to exercise significant control over the legislative agenda.
