If the current printing on the website is correct... the conference committee didn't accomplish anything, they just forced through the House's version.
Of course that is typically how it goes... those who added a bunch of exceptions by amending the heck out of it don't really want it to pass anyway, so they aren't going to negotiate on those amendments because they could care less if the bill dies. So those fighting to preserve the intent of the bill (like Senator Tomes) don't have any bargaining power.
