laser158689 Posted October 2, 2020 at 02:55 PM Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 at 02:55 PM I'm a bit unclear on exactly what should come back from a committee after an item has been referred to it. Sounds like there should at least be some sort of "final report". It sounds like the committees can introduce a variety of items along with that final report. What about the original item? Does it come back before the assembly? (What if the assembly doesn't like what the committee wants, and wants the original item back?)

Atul Kapur Posted October 2, 2020 at 03:14 PM Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 at 03:14 PM What is the "original item"? Was it a motion, perhaps with amendments pending? In that case, the motion and any amendments pending at the time of referral come back and are dealt with ahead of the committee's recommendations.

If the committee wants to do something different, it would recommend amendments. If the assembly doesn't like the committee's amendments, it can vote against the amendments. As to what would come back from the committee, this would indeed be a report. Generally, this would include the committee's recommendation regarding the disposition of the original motion (which may include proposed amendments) and may also include the committee's rationale for its recommendation.
