Conference committee
When the senate and the house of representatives pass a bill that has different version the conference committee writes a compromise bill. This then has to be passed by the two chambers.
conference committee
They resolve differences between Senate and House versions of a bill.
what is the role of a bicameral conference committee
They are formed to settle differences between House and Senate versions of the same bill.If changes were made by the Senate, the differences between its version of the bill and the House version of the bill have to be resolved. The House may vote to accept the bill as amended by the Senate if the changes were minor. If the two versions differ greatly however, the bill will most likely go to a conference committee made up of members from both the House and the Senate. This committee works out a version of the bill that will be acceptable to both houses of Congress. The revised version goes back to both the House and the Senate for approval.So basically, the purpose of a conference committee is so that a bill can be revised (or edited) to both the House and the Senates liking.
The bill passed in the Senate 90-8 and in the House 362-57. The legislation was then signed into law by President Bill Clinton on November 12, 1999.The bill that ultimately repealed the Act was introduced in the Senate by Phil Gramm (Republican of Texas) and in the House of Representatives by Jim Leach (R-Iowa) in 1999. The bills were passed by a Republican majority, basically following party lines by a 54-44 vote in the Senate and by a bi-partisan 343-86 vote in the House of Representatives. After passing both the Senate and House the bill was moved to a conference committee to work out the differences between the Senate and House versions. The final bill resolving the differences was passed in the Senate 90-8 (one not voting) and in the House: 362-57 (15 not voting).
I belive that the 2 versions end up in a confrence commitie. A confrence commitie is a joint commitie (house and senate members) and then the form 1 version by mixing the 2. Once done the 1 version will be debated upon and voted on to see if it passes. If passed it becomes a law.

It goes to the senate. If there are any differences in the house and senate version they are worked out in committee before the bill goes to the governor.
The Conference Committee has the responsibility of working out the differences between legislation passed in both houses. Both houses refers to the United States House of Representatives, and the United States Senate.
