Types of Parliamentary Committee
1. Standing Committees:
These committees are in place all the time, and their job is to oversee the operation of all government departments. They can also write legislative reports outlining their findings. the Standing Committee on Public Accounts, as an illustration.
2. Ad Hoc (Special-Occasion) Committees:
They have a specific function and are used to carry out intermittent legislative tasks like compiling reports and making recommendations or opening inquiries. The Committee on Members’ Services and Special Provisions, the Committee on Estimates, and the Committee on Public Accounts are three types of ad hoc committees with distinct roles. Members must have their respective houses nominate them (or state legislatures).
Full Form of JPC
The full form of JPC is Joint Parliamentary Committee. In a parliamentary system of government, the Parliament or the legislature appoints committees to examine laws, suggest amendments, and make suggestions for new laws. There must be a minimum of three people on the committee. The committee has a constitutional obligation to “examine the functioning of other government agencies” in addition to its role in analyzing laws. Rules, which are an act passed with the reference (or rule) of privileges, determine how things work.
