A committee or subcommittee reviews the bill and suggests amendments if needed. The subcommittee or committee will then accept or reject the bill. If the subcommittee accepts the bill, it is then forwarded as is to the committee. When the committee accepts the bill, it will issue in an official report or official bill print.
Pigeonhole means is not letting a bill pass through a committee onto the legislative floor.
It goes to Committee.
The committee, after a vote, may: recommend that the bill be passed-or passed as amended-and send it directly to the Senate or House fl oor; recommend that the bill be passed-or passed as amended-and be placed on the Consent Calendar; approve the bill and send it on to another committee for further discussion; send the bill to the fl oor or another committee without a recommendation for passage; keep it in committee indefi nitely; or simply defeat it.
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.

Markup is a process in which a subcommittee or a committee revises a bill that has been introduced. The committee also considers the bill in this process.
Hold Hearings On The Bill
The committees decide if the bill is "good" or not to become a law.
The committee passes the bill to another committee in the other house of Congress.
