Joint Committee on the Conference

A Joint Committee on Conference is a temporary body formed by members of both the House of Representatives and the Senate to resolve disagreements on a particular piece of legislation. When both chambers pass different versions of a bill, this committee works to negotiate and reconcile the differences, aiming to produce a single, unified version that both can approve. Its purpose is to ensure legislative consistency and facilitate the passage of laws by bridging gaps between the chambers’ versions before final approval.
