Rep. Steve Stivers will serve on the House Committee on Rules during the next Congress, his office announced this week.

The Committee on Rules, one of the oldest standing House committees, is charged with determining which bills reach the House floor for a vote. The committee also determines how long and under what rules the full body of the House will debate each bill. The committee has been nicknamed "The Speaker's Committee" because it was chaired by the speaker through 1910 and is the primary means by which the speaker manages which bills go to the House Floor.

“As a small businessman, Congressman Stivers brings a vast amount of experience to the Rules Committee, and I look forward to the work we will accomplish together,” said Rules Committee Chair Pete Sessions, R-Texas.

Stivers will continue to serve on the House Financial Services Committee.
