A Joint Committee is a legislative body that consists of members from both chambers of a legislative assembly, typically the House of Representatives and the Senate. These committees are formed to address specific issues, conduct investigations, or streamline the legislative process by combining expertise from both sides. Joint Committees can be permanent or temporary and often focus on areas such as taxation, economics, or national security. They play a crucial role in facilitating communication and collaboration between the two chambers, ensuring that diverse perspectives are considered in the legislative process.
