Democratic Committee Leads

Each of the joint committees has one House chair and one Senate chair, nine additional representatives and two more senators for a total of 13 members. The committees are organized by policy area and members are considered the experts on the matters they review. After reviewing, holding public hearings, and voting on proposed legislation, the committee makes a recommendation to the entire House and Senate on whether the proposed legislation should be adopted. Committee chairs are appointed by the Speaker of the House and the Senate President and are generally members of the majority party.
