Senate Committees


The Transportation Committee is a standing committee of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.

Per the General Operating Rules of the House, memberships of the Pennsylvania House committees are recommended to the Speaker of the House by the House Committee on Committees. The Committee on Committees is made up of the Speaker and 15 members of the House, ten majority party members and five minority party members.

The Speaker appoints a chair, vice-chair, and secretary. The Minority Leader appoints a minority chair, vice-chair, and secretary. Only representatives with the most seniority in their respective caucuses may serve as chair or minority chair of a committee. Members of House majority and minority leadership may not serve as a chair or minority chair of any standing committee and no representative may serve as the chair or minority chair of more than one standing committee.[1]

The Speaker, Majority Floor Leader, and Minority Floor Leader are ex officio members of all standing committees, but have no voting rights and are not counted for the purpose of determining a quorum. At least fifty percent of the committee members must be present to establish a quorum.[1]
