House Rule 18, clause 2 establishes minimum quorum requirements for eight areas of committee activity.
Committees have some discretion in adjusting the minimum quorum requirements mandated in House Rule 11 under the provision in the same rule that committee rules “shall not be inconsistent with the Rules of the House.”
For example, rules of the Budget Committee state that all business shall be conducted by a majority of the committee. (House rules require a majority to report measures but a one-third quorum to conduct most other business.)
