<Li> with instructions to take some action and then report back the bill forthwith, which will result in the Committee chairman immediately re-reporting to the House the bill according to the instructions in the motion to recommit; </Li> <Li> without instructions, which leaves the bill in committee for reconsideration . </Li> <P> It is in Committee (s) that bills get the most scrutiny and attention and that most of the work on a bill is done . Committees play an important role in the legislative process by providing members the opportunity to study, debate and amend the bill and the public with the opportunity to make comments on the bill . There are three types of House Committees, these are: 1) standing committees elected by members of the House, 2) select committees appointed by the Speaker of the House, and 3) joint committees whose members are chosen according to the statute or resolution that created that committee . As the House Rules limit the amount of floor debate on any given bill the committees play an important function in determining the final content and format of the bill . </P> <P> After the committee conducts any necessary research, and has debated and voted on any amendments that were offered in committee they may take one of three actions . These are reporting a measure to the full House with or without amendments, report the measure to the full House with a negative recommendation or fail to report the measure . The House may under certain rules remove the bill or measure from committee (known as "discharging the bill from committee") if the committee fails to report the measure to the House Rules Committee or to the full House and a negative report to the full House does not terminate the bill . The phrase that a "bill has been killed in committee" is not completely accurate as the full House always has options under the rules to remove the bill from Committee and to take action . </P>
