Abstract
The demand for rationalization of the work of parliaments and their greater efficiency leads to an increased activity of their working bodies. In the modern world, the task and the role of the working bodies of parliament (committees and commissions) in the legislative procedure is very important. As part of the structure of the modern parliaments, the working bodies are competent to carry out procedures that precede the enactment of the submitted legislative proposal (bill). The work of the working bodies (committees and commissions) in the legislative procedure covers the review of the proposed law and its amendments from the aspect of their purposefulness and from the aspect of fulfilling the formal requirements that the bill should fulfil, giving opinions and suggestions about the proposed solutions in the legislative proposal, and submission of amendments in order to improve the legal text. This paper will elaborate on the position and role of the working bodies in the legislative process in the USA, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. A special review will be given to the types of working bodies involved in the legislative process in the parliaments of the aforementioned countries, their manner of work and their influence in the improvement of the bill.
