Reports

There are two broad categories of Senate Committees’ reports, all with specific purposes:

Administrative: reporting on past expenses, requesting powers (to travel, to televise, for example) or to request budgetary approval, or other financial reports;

Substantive:

• Legislative: reporting on bills referred to a committee;
• Special Study: reporting on special studies referred to a committee.
