Title: Markup in Senate Committee: Considering Amendments
Authors: Elizabeth Rybicki, Government and Finance Division 
Abstract: Senate rules pertaining to amending measures on the floor apply generally to a Senate committee markup as well. Within the confines of Senate rules, some committees have adopted their own rules governing the consideration of amendments during a markup. However, many Senate committee markups proceed informally, in accordance with a committee's particular needs and practices that have evolved over time.
