Summary:
This document contains the chart "House Committee Reports: Required Contents" which displays House Rules by their requirements and what they apply to. "House rules and statutes detail several substantive requirements for items to be included in reports accompanying bills reported from committees [â¦]. For example, most committee reports explain a bill's purpose and the need for the legislation, its cost, the committee votes on amendments and the measure itself, the position of the executive branch, and the specific changes the bill would make in existing law. Not all requirements are applicable to all committees or in all circumstances. There is also no prescribed order for inclusion of these items in the report, although custom has dictated certain common approaches, such as placing at the end of a report the notations of specific changes in law and additional views."
