Per Rules 8 and 33 of the Standing House Rules, committees of the Michigan House of Representatives are assigned by the Speaker of the House, except when otherwise ordered by the House.[2] Committees are appointed at the beginning of each two-year legislative session. The first person named to a committee is to serve as its chair, with the second serving as vice chair. In the absence of both, the first majority member appointed after them is to serve as acting chair.[3] All committees operate under Rule 34, known as the Uniform Committee Rules.[4]
See rules: Standing Rules of the House of Representatives in Accordance with the Michigan Constitution Article IV, Section 16
Function
“ | While the primary function of the standing committees is to consider legislation, there are a few specific exceptions. For example, the appropriations committees in the House and Senate have the added responsibility under the State Constitution of approving or disapproving gubernatorial executive orders that propose reductions of expenditures authorized by appropriation.[5][6] | ” |
