A majority of the House signs a discharge petition
the committee can: 1) pass the bill 2) mark up a bill with charges and suggest the it be passed 3) replace the original bill with a new bill 4)ignore the bill and let it die( which is called "pigeonholing" the bill) 5)kill the bill outright by majority vote
The House Rules Committee determines when bills will be heard by the floor. Accordingly, if the Committee is against a particular bill, said bill won't be put on the calendar. So, in essence, the bill stays there until it is put on the calendar- which may be never. Furthermore, the Rules Committee could also have "closed rule" on the bill, meaning it will go to the floor, but it cannot be amended. Due to varying opinions, if a bill can't be modified on the House floor, it will ultimately die there.
The speaker of the house can announce a proposed bill to a committee made up of government officials. The bill can then be voted on to see if it should be passed.
It is very important to know the steps for a bill to become a law. These are as follows; the bill is drafted, the bill is presented to the house, sent to committee, committee action, rules committee, Floor action, introduced to the Senate, Committee action, Bill called up, Floor action, conference committee, vote on compromise, presidential action, and the vote to override.
Now, here comes the answer of the question, after the bill is presented and sponsored, it is referred to the appropriate committee action in order for them to debate on it and marks up the proposed bill.

Rules Committee
Markup is a process through which a bill is rewritten or amended by a US congressional or state legislative committee. The bill is read to the committee, one section at a time for amendments or review.
the committee can: 1) pass the bill 2) mark up a bill with charges and suggest the it be passed 3) replace the original bill with a new bill 4)ignore the bill and let it die( which is called "pigeonholing" the bill) 5)kill the bill outright by majority vote
A meeting held for a special purpose is a committee. It is usually organized by leaders to discuss problems and come up with solutions.
A legislative bill goes through an intensive process and is revised during the committee section. After the bill has been voted on by the full committee, they will hold a mark-up section in which the bill is revised and edited. If substantial amendments are made, the committee can order the introduction of a "clean bill" which will include the proposed amendments. This new bill will have a new number and will be sent to the floor while the old bill is discarded. The chamber must approve, change or reject all committee amendments before conducting a final passage vote.
