The Oversight and Government Reform plays an important role in developing legislation and providing oversight in its area of jurisdiction. The committee holds hearings, conducts investigations, and reviews bills that shape federal policy.

Commonly known as the 'traffic cop' of the House, the powerful Committee on Rules determines the rules and procedures under which specific bills will be considered on the House floor. It sets debate times, determines which amendments are in order, and structures the legislative process.

The Committee on Small Business addresses issues impacting American small businesses and entrepreneurs, including access to capital, government contracting, and regulatory relief. It provides oversight of the Small Business Administration (SBA).
