The Senate Governmental Affairs Committee chair, or designated Senators, must do so in the Senate. (b) The Senate President or House Speaker must refer a resolution about a plan to the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee or House Government Operations Committee, respectively. All resolutions about the same plan go to the same committee. The committee must recommend action to its House within 75 calendar days of continuous congressional session after introduction.
