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 stops the Chief Administrative Officer of the House of Representatives from accepting, distributing, or using internal mail systems to deliver the China Daily and other publications controlled by the Chinese Communist Party within House facilities. It applies to the House wing of the Capitol, House Office Buildings, and any other facilities owned and operated by the House. The text defines a Chinese Communist Party-controlled publication as something that must register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938 and is directed by the Chinese Communist Party or its affiliates. The rule does not stop Members or employees from receiving these publications privately, accessing them through public or research facilities, or the Library of Congress collecting them. The policy takes effect immediately when the resolution is adopted.
