The US Senate announced the appointment of their members who will meet with members from the House of Representatives, to work out details surrounding the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act. As you will recall, legislation has passed both the Senate and House and has been awaiting a conference committee to sort out differences.
While the original plan was to work out a compromise bill prior to July 4th, the appointment of conferees is a significant step and means that the real work of making decisions regarding details of the bill can begin.
