What happens when a bill is referred to house committee and subcommittee?

When a bill is referred to a House committee, it undergoes a detailed examination where committee members discuss, amend, and evaluate its provisions. If deemed appropriate, the bill may be sent to a subcommittee for more focused analysis and hearings, allowing for expert testimony and stakeholder input. Following this review, the subcommittee can recommend further amendments or send the bill back to the full committee for consideration. The committee then decides whether to advance the bill to the House floor for a vote.
