All bills originate (start) in the House of Representatives. Once (if) a bill is approved by the House by at least a 50% + 1 vote, then it goes to the Senate. If the Senate approves the bill by at least a 50%+1 margin, then it goes on to the President for his signature which is needed for the bill to become law. If he vetoes (says no) to the bill then it goes back to the Senate. If the Senate votes in support of the bill by a 2/3 majority (66.6% or more) the bill becomes law even if the President had vetoed it.

H.R. 33 would be House Resolution 33 and S.B. 44 would be Senate Bill 44. Once a bill is introduced, it goes to a committee for study.
