It is part of a committee's duties to present reports to the assembly. The committee presents this report in accordance with established rules under the chair's request. The procedure begins with the chair calling for reports from officers and standing committees; special committees follow in their designated order. The reporting member, usually the committee chairman, stands when the presiding chair calls them. They then proceed to read the report and submit it to the presiding officer. In cases where the order of business does not explicitly cover committee reports, the reporting member may address the floor when no other pending business is at hand.
