When a bill is referred to a House committee, it undergoes a detailed examination where committee members discuss, amend, and evaluate its provisions. If deemed appropriate, the bill may be sent to a subcommittee for more focused analysis and hearings, allowing for expert testimony and stakeholder input. Following this review, the subcommittee can recommend further amendments or send the bill back to the full committee for consideration. The committee then decides whether to advance the bill to the House floor for a vote.

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.
