Under the laws of the United States of America, a standing committee is a [[Congressional committee]] permanently authorized by the [[United States House of Representatives]] and [[United States Senate]] rules. The [[Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946]] greatly reduced the number of committees, and set up the legislative committee structure still in use today, as modified by authorized changes via the orderly mechanism of rule changes.
