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 recognizes the annual designation of the week of April 24 through April 30 as "National Reentry Week." The text describes a mass incarceration crisis where the incarcerated population has increased by 500 percent. It outlines various challenges faced by formerly incarcerated individuals, including restrictions on housing, education, and employment. The resolution states that the Nation has a responsibility to advance reentry programs to promote opportunity and public safety. It calls on Congress to address obstacles to successful reentry by increasing access to essential resources. Finally, it encourages the Department of Justice and the Bureau of Prisons to engage in reentry events and learning opportunities.
