Committee Meetings by Type of Order of Reference

The following tables show the total number and percentage of meetings held by all committees in each of the last five fiscal years, broken down by type of order of reference. Meetings where more than one order of reference is considered are tabulated as a meeting for each type. Consequently, the total number of meetings by type may be greater than the total number of meetings held. Differences in totals are due to rounding.
