Different versions of a bill have successfully passed both in the House and the Senate. Which is the next step in the lawmaking process?

The next step in the lawmaking process would be for the different versions of the bill to go through a process called reconciliation. This involves the appointment of a conference committee, consisting of members from both the House and the Senate, who will work together to resolve any differences between the versions of the bill. They will negotiate and make necessary changes or compromises in order to create a single unified version of the bill. Once this unified bill is agreed upon by the conference committee, it will then be sent back to both the House and the Senate for a final vote. If approved by both chambers, the bill will then be sent to the President for their signature, at which point it can become law.
