Concur
In congressional procedure, to concur means that one chamber agrees to an action or amendment taken by the other chamber. Concurrence can help resolve differences between House and Senate versions of a measure, but the exact step depends on the procedural posture.

Example: During consideration of H.R. 815 in April 2024, the House and Senate acted on versions of the supplemental appropriations measure before it became Public Law 118-50.
Common misconception: Concurrence is the same as final enactment. The chambers must agree on identical text, and the measure must still complete the constitutional lawmaking process.
