Where we are in Legislative Process?

• Currently, bills that passed one chamber are
  being heard and amended in the other chambers
  policy committees. (House sent bills to Senate
  Senate sent bills to House. These are the only
  bills alive.) Deadline tonight!
• These bills will continue to be amended as they
  move through the fiscal and rules committees and
  then are voted on by all the members of each
  house.

28
Where we are in Legislative Process?

• Two bills one from each chamber -- meant to
  address the same issue, but with conflicting
  elements, require a conference committee to
  resolve.
• Any bill that the other house changes (example
  House sent bill to Senate, but Senate amended)
  must go back to the original house for it to
  concur with the change.
• Bottom line, nothing is guaranteed to pass at
  this point.
