"The conference committee will meet and resolve the bills' differences" is what happens if the Senate and House of Representatives pass two different bills on the same topic. It could take years before the bill could be passed by the congress after it proposed. In order to eliminate time redundancy within the process, two different bills need to be resolved so it could be processed as one.
