Confused Here-The Senate's Bill does Not have to go back to the House?

oldmantime · Aug 1, 2003

Everyone knows by now that the House version of the Intenet gaming bill contained no criminal penalties. The Senate's bill yesterday contained criminal penalties! That's about as different as you can get!

So is the HOUSE finished with this Bill and only the Senate has the final say before on the President!

The bill approved Thursday must still pass the Senate floor before it goes to conference with House negotiators. There selected members of each chamber will iron out differences between the two versions to form one new bill to be voted on again and sent to the president, if approved.

The Senate is expected to adjourn today for its August recess, so any action would take place after Sept. 3
