Bill
A type of legislative measure that is the primary means used to create and change the laws of the state. A bill
becomes law on its effective date if it is passed by both chambers of the legislature and is not vetoed by the
governor. The term “bill” is also used generically in TLIS on the Capitol Complex intranet and in TLO on the
Internet to refer to the various types of legislative measures that may be introduced during a legislative session. On
these sites and in some other general uses of the term, “bill” types include bills, joint resolutions, concurrent
resolutions, and simple resolutions.
Bracket Bill—A bill intended to apply only to a particular class of political subdivisions or geographic areas
described by characteristics that relate to the purpose of the bill.
Companion Bill—A bill filed in one chamber that is identical or very similar to a bill filed in the opposite
chamber. Companion bills are used to expedite passage, as they provide a means for committee consideration of
a measure to occur in both chambers simultaneously. A companion bill that has passed one chamber can then be
substituted for the companion bill in the opposite chamber.
Duplicate Bill—A bill that is identical to another bill filed in the same chamber.
Local Bill—A bill to enact a law that applies only to a discrete community or area rather than to the entire state.
Omnibus Bill—A bill relating to a broad subject that combines many different aspects of that subject.
Resolution
A type of legislative measure.
Concurrent Resolution—A type of legislative measure that requires adoption by both chambers and generally
requires action by the governor. A concurrent resolution may be used to convey the sentiment of the legislature
or offer a commendation, a memorial, a statement of congratulations, a welcome, or a request for action by
another governmental entity.
Joint Resolution—A type of legislative measure that requires adoption by both chambers of the legislature but
does not require action by the governor. A joint resolution is used to propose amendments to the Texas
Constitution, ratify amendments to the U.S. Constitution, or
request a constitutional convention to propose
amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Before becoming effective, the provisions of joint resolutions proposing
amendments to the Texas Constitution must be approved by the voters of Texas.
Simple Resolution—A type of legislative measure that is considered only within the chamber in which it is
filed. A simple resolution may be used to offer a commendation, a memorial, a statement of congratulations, or
the views of that chamber, as well as adopt or change the chamber's rules of procedure.
Terms Used For Legislative Measures (Bills)
SB – Senate Bill
SR – Senate Simple Resolution
SCR – Senate Concurrent Resolution
SJR – Senate Joint Resolution
HB – House Bill
HR – House Simple Resolution
HCR – House Concurrent Resolution
HJR – House Joint Resolution
SJR 2 – The number implies the importance of
the bill to the Lt. Governor or Speaker,(1, 2, 3,
or 4 digits) coupled with the order of filing.
The system is designed to KILL,
NOT PASS, legislation.
