The type of committee employed to settle disputes and reconcile pieces of similar legislation when the U. S. House and Senate pass two similar bills is known as which of the selections below?

The response is C. The Conference Committee

Explanation:

The United States Congressional Conference Committee is a temporary panel composed of House and Senate conferees. It is an ad hoc committee that is formed when there are differences in similar legislation that is composed by both chambers and some discussion and action is needed to reconcile the differences in the two versions of the legislation. It is convened, especially for major bills and controversial issues in the legislation. Usually, the conference committee produces a conference report that synthesizes the work of the House and Senate and produces a final draft of the bill.
