Many times, the House and Senate pass slightly different versions of a bill. If this happens both the House and the Senate appoint conferees to work out a compromise. This committee is called a conference committee.
A bill goes to a committee in either the House of Representatives or the Senate for markup. During this process, committee members review, amend, and debate the proposed legislation. The markup session allows for detailed examination and revisions before the bill is reported out of committee for further consideration by the full chamber.
When a bill is referred to a House committee, it undergoes a detailed examination where committee members discuss, amend, and evaluate its provisions. If deemed appropriate, the bill may be sent to a subcommittee for more focused analysis and hearings, allowing for expert testimony and stakeholder input. Following this review, the subcommittee can recommend further amendments or send the bill back to the full committee for consideration. The committee then decides whether to advance the bill to the House floor for a vote.

After a bill passes in the Senate, it typically goes to a committee in the House of Representatives for further consideration. The specific committee that handles the bill depends on the bill's subject matter. For example, a health-related bill would likely go to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce or the House Committee on Ways and Means. The committee will review, amend, and vote on the bill before it moves to the full House for debate and voting.
