A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution proposes an amendment to the Rules of the House of Representatives. The amendment would establish a Permanent Select Committee on Aging. This new committee would not have legislative jurisdiction. Instead, it would focus on conducting comprehensive studies regarding the problems faced by older Americans. The committee would also study ways to encourage programs that help older Americans participate in national life. Finally, it would review recommendations from the President or the White House Conference on aging.
