What this bill does
H.Res. 606 is a simple House resolution addressing the timing of party organizational meetings following the 1998 elections. It authorizes House political parties to hold their organizational caucuses or conferences for the incoming 106th Congress on or after November 13, 1998. These caucuses or conferences are the meetings each party's House members hold to make internal organizational decisions, such as electing party leadership, ahead of a new Congress convening; the resolution defines the term by reference to a 1974 House rule that was later made permanent federal law.
The resolution affects members of the House of Representatives and their respective party organizations (Republican and Democratic caucuses/conferences), by setting the earliest permissible date for these post-election organizational meetings. It does not affect the general public directly, nor does it change any substantive law, funding, or policy—it is a procedural, internal House matter.

As a simple resolution, it applies only to the House and does not require Senate action or presidential signature.
