Number: 98-305 Title: Senate Committee Reports: Required Contents Authors: Elizabeth Rybicki, Government and Finance Division Abstract: When a Senate committee reports a measure following a markup, it usually prepares a written report that describes the purposes and provisions of the measure. However, such reports are not required. Senate rules and statutes specify items generally applicable to Senate committees that must be included in committee reports, if a report is prepared. Senate committees also may include additional items in their reports. Pages: 2 Date: January 22, 2008
