As mandated by the standing orders of the 23rd Imperial Diet, the Petitions Committee contains the following responsibility: “Mandated but not limited to opening petitions for legislative ideas to the general public.” Comprised of Representatives across the bipartisan aisle, this committee of the House of Commons contains the responsibility of oversight over legislative petitions from the general public. If such a petition meets the requirements as later detailed - the committee will vote on passing it forward to the chamber as an official bill. The matters of the Petitions Committee may also pertain to public opinion and propositions on an existing bill on the docket of the House of Commons.
