House Committee on Rules
Jurisdiction
The House Committee on Rules is commonly known as “The Speaker’s Committee” because it is the mechanism that the Speaker uses to maintain control of the House Floor. Because of the vast power wielded by the Rules Committee, its ratio has traditionally been weighted in favor of the majority party. The Committee provides the terms and conditions of debate on any measure or matter through Special Rules. The Committee also considers original jurisdiction measures, which commonly represent changes to the standing rules of the House, or measures that contain special rules, such as the expedited procedures in trade legislation.

Committee overlap Estimated
The committee-to-sector tags are our editorial judgement, not an official classification: a committee is mapped where its published jurisdiction covers an industry's regulation, funding or oversight. Broad money committees are deliberately left unmapped. Rosters are current-Congress membership only, so an overlap is shown only for trades on or after January 3, 2025, and only for members serving today.
An overlap of duty and holding is not an allegation of insider trading or of any other violation.
