Acommittee's influence extends to its enactment of bills into law. a committee that considers a measure will manage the full senate's deliberation on it. also, its members will be appointed to any conference committee created to reconcile its version of a bill with the version passed by the house of representatives. what is the relationship between the senate’s lawmaking function and committee work? committee work is unrelated to the senate’s lawmaking function. committee work has no influence on the senate agenda. committees manage a bill’s passage and make any needed changes. committees debate a bill so the entire senate does not have to.
