insist

insist, vb. (Of a house in a bicameral legislature) to reaffirm (an amendment) that the other house has considered but in which it has not concurred, or to reaffirm nonconcurrence in an amendment from which the other house has not receded. • An insistence often results in a request for a conference. See CONCUR(3); CONFERENCE(2); RECEDE. — insistence, n.

“When one house refuses to recede from its amendments, the bill is not thereby lost, because the house may vote to insist upon its amendments. A message is sent to the other house stating that the house has insisted upon its amendments and is usually accompanied by a request for conference. When one house insists upon its amendments, the other house may then insist upon its nonconcurrence in the amendments and request a conference or recede from its nonconcurrence and concur in the amendments, which would constitute a final passage of the bill with the amendments.” National Conference of State Legislatures, Mason’s Manual of Legislative Procedure § 768, at 556–57 (2000).
