When would a bill go to a conference committee in congress?

Going to conference? Conference committees operate after the House and the Senate have passed different versions of a bill. Conference committees exist to draft a compromise bill that both houses can accept. Both houses of Congress must eventually pass identical legislation for the bill to be presented to the President.

When the Senate and House draft different versions of the bill. So some people from each Chamber come to together to create 1 bill that incorprates both their ideas.

Hope this helps.
