When a bill is presented to Congress, the subcommittee may choose to "mark up" the bill, meaning to:
a. obtain oral testimony about the bill from the executive branch.
b. conduct additional hearings about the bill.
c. amend the bill before recommending it to the full committee.
d. have the full committee vote on recommendations.
ANS: C
Correct: "Marking up" occurs in step 4 of the legislative process, when the subcommittee can make changes or amendments before recommending the bill to the full committee. The bill dies if the subcommittee does not refer the bill to the full committee.
Incorrect:
a. Step 3 in the legislative process, not "marking up," provides an opportunity to obtain written or oral testimony about the bill from the executive branch, experts in a related area, and supporters and opponents of the bill.
b. Additional hearings are not related to "marking up" of the bill; conducting additional hearings occurs in step 5 of the legislative process.
d. Full committee votes on recommendations is part of step 5, in which the full committee votes on recommendations to the House or Senate, a procedure known as "ordering a bill reported."
