Jurisdiction source: Senate Rule XXV

How business reaches this committee

Senate Rule XXV lists the subjects above and assigns them here. A bill introduced in the Senate is referred to the committee whose Rule XXV jurisdiction covers its main subject, so measures on these topics start with this committee. From there it can hold hearings, amend the text, report the bill to the full Senate, or leave it alone, which is what happens to most bills.

Subcommittees

The committee divides its work among 6 subcommittees:

  • Subcommittee on Energy, Natural Resources, and Infrastructure
  • Subcommittee on Fiscal Responsibility and Economic Growth
  • Subcommittee on Health Care
  • Subcommittee on International Trade, Customs, and Global Competitiveness
  • Subcommittee on Social Security, Pensions, and Family Policy
  • Subcommittee on Taxation and IRS Oversight

27 senators sit on the committee: 14 Republicans, 12 Democrats, and 1 independent. That gives the majority 14 of the 27 seats. Mike Crapo is the chairman. Ron Wyden is the ranking member. They come from 26 states.
