CONFERENCE REPORTS


Often both chambers of Congress pass related, though not identical, bills. In this case, a conference committee consisting of members from both bodies is formed to work out the differences in the two bills. Once completed, a compromise version of the bill is then sent to each chamber for final approval. Sometimes, this compromise version of the bill is accompanied by a conference report from the conference committee.
