Committees play a crucial role in the process of a bill becoming a law. They serve as gatekeepers and decision-making bodies during various stages of the legislative process. Committees review, analyze, and amend bills before they are presented to the full chambers for a vote. They hold hearings to gather input from experts, stakeholders, and the public, allowing for a more thorough examination of the bill's merits and potential consequences. Committees also play a role in negotiating compromises and making recommendations to the full chamber regarding the passage or rejection of a bill.
