Conference Committees
When are conference committees used?
Conference committees are used when the Senate and the House pass the same bill, but each house has made different addendums and changes to the bill. Conference committees composed of select members of both houses of Congress are then called to work out the differences in the two versions of the bill. This compromise bill is then sent to each house for a revote.
Conference committees are not allowed to change bills.?
