A legislative proposal for a new law is called a bill. Most bills are introduced in Congress and have the form H.R. or S., followed by the number of the bill in the House or Senate (for example, H.R. 10 or S. 42). Generally, bills deal with issues that affect the public at large and become Public Laws, or Acts, when approved by both houses of Congress and signed by the President.
