reference committee

Read a random definition: Treaty Clause

A quick definition of reference committee:

A committee is a group of people who work together to investigate, discuss, and make decisions about a specific topic or issue. There are many different types of committees, such as those that plan events, review financial reports, or propose new laws. Committees can be made up of members from an organization or government body, and they often have specific tasks to complete. Sometimes, a committee may only have one person on it, while other times it may have many members. Overall, committees are an important way for groups to work together and get things done.

A more thorough explanation:

A reference committee is a subordinate group to which a deliberative assembly or organization refers business for consideration, investigation, oversight, or action. It is a committee that helps the main group to handle its work efficiently without wasting time and effort on unmeritorious submissions.

For example, a convention may establish a resolutions committee, also known as a reference committee or screening committee, to screen the original main motions offered for consideration. The committee will then recommend which motions should be adopted, amended, or rejected by the convention.

Another example is a legislative committee, which is a group of legislators appointed to help a legislature conduct its business, especially by providing careful consideration of proposals for new legislation within a particular field. The committee will then prepare favored measures for passage by the entire body.

In summary, a reference committee is a group that assists a larger organization or assembly in handling its business efficiently and effectively.
