They iron out all the differences, then each chamber passes the amended version for the President's signature. It's possible that one chamber fails to pass the amended version, but not very likely.

Could take a month to do all that. They've got the budget next week, then Christmas break.

Don't know when they're going to vote.

I assume it will go into effect in 2019.
