1 what are two parts of the bill that both houses would agree on? this is your compromise bill.
a.

b.

1. how does your bill demonstrate compromise?

1. review the steps of how a bill becomes a law. why do you think compromise is important in congress?

Explanation:

1. A. Fund addiction treatment programs：Ambas propuestas buscan financiar programas de tratamiento de adicciones, aunque una lo hace a través de impuestos a las compañías y la otra a través de una multa a personas condenadas.

B. Require training for providers registered to prescribe opioids：Ambas propuestas exigen capacitación para los proveedores registrados para recetar opioides, aunque una especifica temas y la otra horas.

1. El billete demuestra el compromiso al combinar elementos de las dos propuestas originales. Toma la idea de financiar los programas de tratamiento (elemento de ambos) y la de la capacitación (también presente en ambas), mostrando que se busca un acuerdo que integre lo común.
2. El compromiso es importante en el Congreso porque permite que las dos cámaras (que pueden tener enfoques diferentes) lleguen a un acuerdo. De no ser así, los proyectos de ley podrían quedarse atrapados en disputas y no ser aprobados, lo que perjudicaría la capacidad del gobierno de hacer legislación efectiva.

Answer:

1.
A. Fund addiction treatment programs.
B. Require training for providers registered to prescribe opioids.

1. Combina elementos comunes de las dos propuestas originales.
2. Permite que las dos cámaras lleguen a un acuerdo y se aproben leyes efectivas.
