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 expresses support for designating the week of May 31 through June 6, 2026, as Our Roads, Our Safety Week.

It supports the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's safety campaign aimed at reducing these crashes, injuries, and fatalities. Furthermore, the resolution encourages the Department of Transportation and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to continue their outreach and education efforts. Finally, it urges all road users to learn the rules for sharing space safely with large trucks and buses.
