A Legislative Committee is a group of lawmakers within a legislative body, such as a Congress or Parliament, that focuses on specific areas of policy or legislation. These committees review proposed laws, conduct hearings, and gather information to make informed recommendations. They play a crucial role in shaping legislation by examining details and ensuring that various perspectives are considered. Committees can be permanent, known as standing committees, or temporary, called ad hoc committees. Each committee typically specializes in a particular subject, such as finance, education, or healthcare, allowing members to develop expertise and address issues more effectively.
