"After hearings are completed, the subcommittee usually will consider the bill in a session that is popularly known as the 'markup' session. The views of both sides are studied in detail and at the conclusion of deliberation a vote is taken to determine the action of the subcommittee. It may decide to report the bill favorably to the full committee, with or without amendment, or unfavorably, or without recommendation. The subcommittee may also suggest that the committee 'table' it or postpone action indefinitely." How Our Laws Are Made, H. Doc. 108-93, June 20, 2003.
The "chair's mark" is the version of the bill that the committee chair decides to use during the markup session. For more information, see Congressional procedure: a practical guide to the legislative process in the U.S. Congress, Richard A. Arenberg, 2018, p. 50. (print)
Markups are seldom published. When a markup is published, it might be published with or as a Committee Hearing, a Committee Print, or a Committee Report. ProQuest Congressional is a good database to search for these materials. Note that the word "markup" may or may not be in the title. Examples of a markup ...
