Answer:

Standing committee

Step-by-step explanation:

In the United States, a standing or permanent committee is the type of committee with legislative jurisdiction: it proposes bills and determines which one of them are important enough to send to the chambers for all members to consider and subsequent approval. This committee also oversees agencies, activities, and programs within their jurisdictions.
