The Senate has to start from scratch, their bill has nothing to do with the House bill.

Uh, the bill passed the House. Doesn't it just go to the Senate now as HR4411 for their consideration? Why would you think there has to be a new senate bill???

That's just the way it works. "Meet the Press" has been pretty instructive on points like this!
The Senate is a separate entity from the house. A Senate Bill naturally has to be drafted and introduced by a Senator, and then make it out of committee. While I guess it's theoretically possible just to copy the House bill, introduce it, and tell the committee "Don't change a thing!", I don't think this happens in practice.

It actually does in a surprising number of cases. I'd have to go back and see what Senator Kyle has introduced in the past and how it relates to House versions, but I believe it was the same to either the prior Leach or Goodlatte versions.
Don't discount this possiblity
