H.R. (House Resolution)

A House Resolution (H.R.) is a type of legislative proposal introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. It represents a formal expression of opinion or decision by the House, but it does not have the force of law like a bill. H.R. resolutions can address issues such as rules for the House, express congratulations, or set the House’s stance on various matters. They are part of the legislative process and help facilitate discussion and decision-making among representatives. Each H.R. is numbered uniquely for identification as it moves through the legislative process.
