Summary:

House committee markups generally are held to consider legislation. During a markup, committees follow House rules and their individual committee rules to ensure proper parliamentary procedure. This report identifies motions commonly used and requests frequently heard during a markup. It is not intended to be an exhaustive list. This report will be updated if rules or procedures change.
