What factors determine which committee receives a bill?

Depending on its subject and content, each proposed bill is sent to one or more related committees. For example, a bill introduced in the House allocating federal funds for agricultural research might be sent to the Agriculture, Appropriations, and Budget Committees, plus others as deemed appropriate by the Speaker of the House.
