Whither the Role of Conference Committees: An Analysis
Description:
This report discusses several reasons for, and implications of, ping ponging amendments back-and-forth between the chambers instead of forming conference committees to achieve bicameral agreement on legislation. This report also provides summary observations, including why the exchange of amendment pattern has seemingly evolved to become a more important feature of bicameral lawmaking activity.
