FAQ
Resolutions are statements of opinions and, unlike bills, do not have the force of law. Resolutions cover a wide range of issues and come in three different forms: Joint Resolutions, Concurrent Resolutions, and Simple Resolutions.
Unlike a bill, a resolution, if passed, lacks the force of a public law.
Joint Resolution –A joint resolution must be passed by both House and Senate. It is used for matters involving both houses, such as appointing joint committees or issuing joint communiques. Proposals to amend the Utah Constitution are contained in joint resolutions.
In judicial proceedings , “resolution” means a judgment or decision of the court. In the context of a legislative practice, “resolution” is just a form in which a legislative body expresses an opinion or a purpose with respect to a given matter or topic that is temporary in nature.
A simple resolution is considered by only one chamber and is used for procedural matters and rules. For example, during the 100th Congress, the House of Representatives amended its rules to allow members to refer to the Senate as "the Senate" instead of as "the other body".
Resolutions are also legislation, but unlike bills they may be limited in effect to the Congress or one of its chambers. Simple resolutions relate to the operations of a single chamber or express the collective opinion of that chamber on public policy issues.
