Editing Tennessee General Assembly (section)

=== Joint committees ===
Each chamber sets up its own committee system; however, there are a number of committees which are composed of members of both the House and Senate.

'''Joint Fiscal Review Committee'''

The Joint Fiscal Review Committee continuously reviews items such as revenue collections, the proposed budget and other budget requests, appropriations, state debt, and various state funds, among other items. It also prepares estimates of revenues from the Tennessee Education Lottery and oversees the financial operations of state departments and agencies. Further, it prepares the fiscal note attached to each bill presented in the General Assembly, describing the estimated cost of the bill's contents on state and local government.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=http://www.capitol.tn.gov/joint/committees/fiscal-review/|title=Fiscal Review Joint Committee - TN General Assembly|website=www.capitol.tn.gov|access-date=2019-11-19}}</ref>

It was set up as a special continuing committee of the General Assembly in 1967 and is composed of six senators and nine representatives, each elected by their respective chambers. Additionally, ''ex officio'' members include the Speaker of each house and each house's chairman of the Finance, Ways, and Means committee. The current members are as follows:<ref name=":1" />
