Question

What generally happens when the Senate and the House of Representatives pass different versions of the same bill?

Answer 1

Answer:

When the Senate and the House of Representatives pass different versions of the same bill, it is sent to the Conference Committee. There, the Committee will discuss these differences in order to reach an agreement between both chambers of Congress, fundamentally seeking to avoid a congressional ping pong between them, and the approval of an intermediate version of both positions for the benefit of American society.
