Agenda
An agenda is a list of topics or actions planned for a meeting or session. In government, an agenda may identify bills for consideration, hearing topics, witness panels, votes, or other business. An agenda can change as circumstances and procedural decisions change.

Example: The House publishes its legislative schedule and floor activity so members and the public can see which measures may be considered.
Common misconception: An item on an agenda is guaranteed to be debated or approved. Agendas communicate planned business, but scheduling and final action can change.
