The House has a similar rule, so Speaker Straus will appoint the conferees from the House.ARTICLE XII
CONFERENCE COMMITTEES
APPOINTMENT OF CONFERENCE COMMITTEES
Rule 12.01. All conference committees of the Senate shall be selected and appointed by the President or the President Pro Tempore when the latter shall be presiding. The member authoring or sponsoring the bill for which the conference committee is selected shall be appointed chair of the Senate conferees. At least two of the Senate conferees must be from a standing committee which heard the bill.
