COMMITTEE REPORTS.


After a bill is introduced in either the House or the Senate, it is assigned to a committee. If a
committee votes to report a bill favorably to the House or the Senate, a written report is submitted
describing the legislation and explaining the committee's action. These reports often provide a
section-by-section analysis of a bill and include recommended amendments. Committee reports
are important documents in determining the legislative intent of Congress. These documents are
known as ‘House Reports' or ‘Senate Reports.'
