where does a bill go next if the conference committee succeeds?
115th congress
once a bill has been passed by a conference committee, it goes directly to the floor of both houses for a vote, and is not open to further amendment. in the first house to consider the conference report, a member may move to recommit the bill to the conference committee. but once the first house has passed the conference report, the conference committee is dissolved, and the second house to act can no longer recommit the bill to conference.
united states congressional conference committee
a conference committee is often empaneled to discuss the points of difference between the two houses' versions of the same bill, and tries to reach an agreement between them so that the identical bill can be passed by both houses. if an agreement is reached and if both houses adopt the conference committee's report, the bill is passed. if either house refuses to adopt the report of the conference committee, a motion may be made for further conference. if a conference committee is unable to reach an agreement, it may be discharged, and a new conference committee may be appointed. some highly controversial bills may be referred to several different conference committees. if an agreement is never reached in conference prior to the end of the legislative session, the bill is lost.
