Answer 1

The committee will report the bill favorable to the floor. When a majority of committee members support a bill, it is likely that the committee will report the bill favorably to the floor for further debate and consideration by the entire legislative body. This does not guarantee that the bill will ultimately pass, but it increases the likelihood of its success.
