What is a subcommittee and a joint subcommittee?
A subcommittee is a smaller group of members from a particular standing committee of either the House of Delegates or Senate that meet to review, in depth, information that has come before the standing committee. The group then reports its findings back to the full standing committee. Sometimes a joint subcommittee is created where both House of Delegates members and Senate members are brought together to review information that is of interest to both houses of government.
