This resolution establishes the Committee on Health, a standing committee of the House of Representatives, and specifies the subjects within its jurisdiction.Â
The Committee on Health is responsible for all legislation and other matters relating to biomedical research and development (including the Food and Drug Administration); health, health facilities, and health care supported by general revenues (except veterans’ hospitals, medical care, and treatment); and public health and quarantine (including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). The resolution also removes these topics from the jurisdiction of the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Energy and Commerce.
The establishment of the Committee on Health would allow for a more focused and dedicated approach to addressing the various health challenges facing the country. This committee would have the authority to hold hearings, conduct investigations, and propose legislation aimed at improving the nation's healthcare system and promoting public health.
By creating a dedicated committee for health issues, lawmakers hope to streamline the legislative process and ensure that important health-related issues receive the attention and consideration they deserve. This committee would play a crucial role in shaping healthcare policy and addressing the healthcare needs of the American people. Overall, Bill 119 HRES 10 seeks to enhance the government's ability to address health-related issues by establishing a Committee on Health as a standing committee of the House of Representatives. This committee would be tasked with addressing a wide range of health-related issues and proposing legislation to improve the nation's healthcare system.
