What are Select Committees?

1 Answer

3 votes

Answer: Select committees are created by "a resolution to conduct investigations or consider measures, usually on a specific topic, and are not renewed on a permanent basis. Joint committees, such as the Joint Committee on Taxation, have both House and Senate members and typically conduct studies rather than consider measures."

Some examples are the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in the House and the Select Committee on Intelligence in the Senate.
