A quick definition of committee amendment:
A committee amendment is a change made to a proposed law or bill by a group of people who are part of a committee. This change is usually made before the proposed law or bill is voted on by the larger group. A committee report is a document that explains the committee's decision and recommendations about the proposed law or bill. A committing magistrate is a person who orders someone to be put in jail or custody.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: A proposed change to a bill or legislation that is made by a committee during the legislative process.
Example: The Senate Judiciary Committee proposed a committee amendment to the immigration bill that would increase funding for border security.
This example illustrates how a committee can propose changes to a bill during the legislative process. The committee amendment is a way for the committee to make changes to the bill before it is voted on by the full Senate.
