I’m browsing the Library of Congress “Thomas” site, looking at bills/resolution and dont understand the relationship between resolutions. For example H.Res.896 provides for the resolution of H.Res.895… what does this mean? Does the house vote on both resolutions?
Can You Help Me Understand The Legislation Process?

A bill is an actual law that will be enforced once passed by both entities (senate and congress for nationwide – senate and assembly for states) pass it and then the president or governor signs it. A resolution is something more simple, like moving money from one department to another or recognizing an accomplishment made by an individual. Hope that helps.
