What This Bill Does
This resolution establishes the Committee on Health, a standing committee of the House of Representatives, and specifies the subjects within its jurisdiction.
The Committee on Health is responsible for all legislation and other matters relating to biomedical research and development (including the Food and Drug Administration); health, health facilities, and health care supported by general revenues (except veterans’ hospitals, medical care, and treatment); and public health and quarantine (including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). The resolution also removes these topics from the jurisdiction of the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Energy and Commerce.
