Answer: Technically, the answer is since different versions have passed both the House & Senate, it would go to the conference committee to reconcile the hill and then go to the President to sign into law

The correct answer is A) The conference committee makes revisions to make one single bill.

Different versions of a federal bill have successfully passed both in the House and the Senate. The next step in the lawmaking process is "The conference committee makes revisions to make one single bill."

In very simple terms, the process to pass a bill is the following. A bill has to be introduced by a Representative and is assigned to a Committee. There, the bill is studied and released to put it on the calendar to be voted. Well, first, there is so much debate and discussion. If the bill passed by the majority, it is passed to the upper chamber of the Senate. Eventually, the bill goes to a Conference Committee made by both Representatives and Senators to work out the many versions and come up with one proposal that is the one that is sent to the President for his signature or veto.
