During each Congress, ideas for laws, known as legislative proposals, are introduced in the House and Senate. Once enacted, they become Public Laws, or Acts, and are included in the Statutes at Large, the permanent collection of all enacted laws.

Bills are also numbered in the order they’re introduced, with H.R. numbers indicating they’re from the House of Representatives and S. numbers indicating they’re from the Senate.
