Definition: “Congressional bills are legislative proposals from the House of Representatives and Senate within the United States Congress.” (From GovInfo)
Congress has the House and Senate. Bills introduced in the House are prefixed with H.R. and those from the Senate with S.
The California State Legislature has two houses: the Assembly and Senate and, therefore, has Assembly Bills (A.B.) and Senate Bills (S).
