"Tabling a bill" means that the vote on it is simply adjourned until a later time. It comes from the concept that the bill is put back on the table to await future action instead of being voted on and moved to the next appropriate step in the legislative process.

It is to "kill" a bill that was not accepeted by a committee in congress. More than 90% of proposed bills are tabled. After the bill has been "tabled", the full House or Senate can override committee decisions (but this rarely happens).
