House Standing Committees' Rules on Legislative Activities

This report examines in text and tables how committees implemented House rules in their individual committee rules for the 114th Congress. The variety as well as consistency in committee rules is analyzed as these rules relate to legislative activities, principally hearings, oversight, and markups.
