When the hearings are completed, the subcommittee may meet to "mark
up" the bill; that is, make changes and amendments prior to recommending
the bill to the full committee. If a subcommittee votes not to report legislation
to the full committee, the bill dies. If the committee votes for the bill, it is sent
to the floor.
