Conference Committee: It is a committee of three members (that is two from the majority party and one from the minority party) from each house, appointed to gather and resolve differences among versions of a bill (example, when one house of the Legislature doesn’t correspond with bill amendments made by the other house). When resolution can’t be reached, the other conference committee can be chosen, however no more than three distinct conference committees can be appointed on any one bill. The budget staff normally refers to the conference committee on an annual budget bill as "the Conference Committee.”
