Jurisdiction source: House Rule X

How business reaches this committee

House Rule X gives this committee the subjects above. Each bill introduced in the House is referred to the committee whose Rule X jurisdiction covers its primary subject, and a bill that spans several subjects can go to more than one committee at once. This committee then decides whether to hold hearings, amend the text and report it to the floor.

Subcommittees

The committee divides its work among 7 subcommittees:

  • Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation
  • Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Energy Policy, and Regulatory Affairs
  • Subcommittee on Government Operations
  • Subcommittee on Health Care and Financial Services
  • Subcommittee on Military and Foreign Affairs
  • Subcommittee on Federal Law Enforcement
  • Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency
