H.Con.Res. stands for House Concurrent Resolution, a political abbreviation.
Prefix for concurrent resolutions originating in the House, which must pass both chambers but are not presented to the President and do not have the force of law. They handle matters affecting both chambers, such as the annual budget resolution and adjournments.
Example: Adoption of H.Con.Res. 14 set the budget framework for the 2025 reconciliation bill.
Usage notes
The congressional budget resolution is the most consequential concurrent resolution because its reconciliation instructions allow later tax and spending bills to pass the Senate by simple majority. Concurrent resolutions also authorize use of the Capitol Rotunda and express the "sense of Congress".
