House Finance Committee

Committees hold public hearings on bills, take votes in executive sessions, and study issues in work sessions. Learn about the Finance Committee, its membership and meetings, and how to participate.

    The House Finance Committee considers issues relating to state and local revenues, such as increases or decreases in taxes; exemptions from taxes; and changes in the administration of taxes. (Note: Issues involving revenue for transportation purposes are usually considered by the House Transportation Committee.)
