I can’t find it now, but Dave Barry once wrote a column about the Senate receiving a copy a House bill that was entirely blacked out, and it wasn’t a mistake.
When the Senate sends the House a bill, and the House disagrees with a portion of the bill, they send it back with the parts they don’t like blacked out.
There is no exception if the House disagrees with the entire bill, so each member of Senate receives a blacked out copy of the original bill.
