Noun

H.R.

1. (law) Abbreviation of House of Representatives.
   • 2024 May 1, Clare Foran, Haley Talbot and Kristin Wilson, “House passes antisemitism bill as Johnson highlights campus protests”, in CNN‎:

     In a letter to representatives, the ACLU wrote, “Federal law already prohibits antisemitic discrimination and harassment by federally funded entities. H.R. 6090 is therefore not needed to protect against antisemitic discrimination; instead, it would likely chill free speech of students on college campuses by incorrectly equating criticism of the Israeli government with antisemitism.”
