standing committee
Ongoing legislative body
A standing committee is a permanent committee that continues from session to session, as opposed to one formed for a specific purpose and then dissolved.
Legislatures have standing committees on finance, foreign affairs, judiciary matters, and other recurring concerns: The bill was referred to the standing committee on education.
Organizations use them similarly for ongoing governance needs.
