If a bill passes both chambers of a legislature but in different forms, and the originating chamber rejects the changes made by the other chamber, the typical process is that **d. the bill is sent to a committee conference**.
In a conference committee, members from both chambers come together to negotiate and reconcile the differences in the bill before it can proceed to the next steps, such as a final vote in both chambers.
