C. The committee changes the language of the bill

A, B, and C

Explanation:

All of the above can happen while the bill is in committee.

GATHERS INFORMATION THROUGH HEARING

A Committee can refer a bill to a SUBCOMMITTEE which will evaluate the bill usually through hearings. They will then submit their findings to the main Committee.

DECISION TO SEND TO FLOOR

Bills are sent to Committees to evaluate them before they can be sent to the house. As such, the Committee has the power to send a bill to the Floor. Even though a time limit could be imposed on them by the SPEAKER, failure to act on a bill by a committee essentially kills it.

CHANGES LANGUAGE OF BILL

Committees hold 'mark-up' sessions where the bill is scrutinized and additions and reviews can be made. If the amendments are substantial, a NEW bill (CLEAN BILL) could be introduced which will have all the proposed announcements but with a new number and will be sent to the floor as soon as the previous bill is discarded.
