Bill Notes
- [Note 1] An Act (like Export Administration Modification and Clarification Act of 2000) or a resolution cannot become a law in the United States until it has been approved (passed) in identical form by both the House of Representatives and the Senate, as well as signed by the President (but see (5)). If the two bodys of the Congress versions of a bill are not identical, one of the bodies might decide to take a further vote to adopt the bill (see more about the Congress process here). An Act may be pass in identical form with or without amendments and with or without conference. (see more about Enrollment).
- [Note 2] Proposals are referred to committees for preliminary consideration, then debated, amended, and passed (or rejected) by the full House or Senate. To prevent endless shuttling of bills between the House and Senate, bills like Export Administration Modification and Clarification Act of 2000 are referred to joint committees made up of members of both houses.

The current official title of a bill is always present, assigned at introduction (for example, in this case, on 2000-09-21) and can be revised any time. This type of titles are sentences.
- [Note 5] The Act is referred to the appropriate committee by the Speaker of any of the two Houses. Bills are placed on the calendar of the committee to which they have been assigned. See Assignment Process.
- [Note 6] Regarding exceptions to President´s approval, a bill that is not signed (returned unsigned) by the President can still become law if at lest two thirds of each of the two bodys of the Congress votes to pass it, which is an infrequent case. See also Presidential Veto.
- [Note 7] Legislative Proposal types can be: hr, hres, hjres, hconres, s, sres, sjres, sconres.
