Yes, house and senate bill numbers do get recycled, but typically only after a significant period of time has passed. Each legislative session starts with a new set of bill numbers, and once a session concludes, the numbers from that session may be reused in future sessions. However, within the same session, bill numbers remain unique to avoid confusion.

What roles do both the house and the senate play in the introduction of a new bill?
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.
