special committee
Task-specific legislative body
A special committee is a group formed for a specific purpose, typically disbanding once its task is complete.
Legislatures create special committees to investigate particular issues or events, distinguishing them from standing committees that handle ongoing responsibilities.
Corporate boards form special committees to evaluate matters requiring independence, such as mergers or conflicts of interest: The board appointed a special committee to review the buyout offer.
