Committees generally fall into three categories. Use the tabs above to browse each group.
Select / Special
Often created to investigate, study, or focus on work that doesn’t fit neatly within standing committee jurisdiction.
Joint
Composed of Members from both chambers. Joint committees usually focus on studies or administrative and oversight work.
