Definition of standing committee
A standing committee is a group that is established for ongoing business and continues to exist from session to session. It is usually charged with considering business of a certain recurring kind. For example, a legislature may establish a standing committee concerned with a specific field of legislation. A legislative standing committee usually considers basic questions of legislative policy, holds hearings on legislation, eliminates unwanted bills, and prepares favored measures for passage.
Examples:
- The House of Representatives has a standing committee on education and labor.
- The Senate has a standing committee on foreign relations.
These examples illustrate how standing committees are established for ongoing business and are charged with considering specific fields of legislation.
The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is practice.
