What is a Senate Committee?
A senate committee is a small group of lawmakers which focuses on specific issues. Many senates around the world have what are known as “standing” committees, meaning that these senate committees are always in existence, although the membership may change. In other cases, a committee may be specially appointed to deal with a particular issue. Senate committees help legislatures run more smoothly, and they ensure that the myriad of issues which face nations around the world are dealt with in a timely fashion.
