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

H. Res. 1427 is a resolution that expresses support for naming July 10th as Journeyman Lineworkers Recognition Day. It recognizes the vital service and dangers journeyman lineworkers face to provide safe and reliable power. The date honors Henry Miller, the first elected president of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, who died on July 10, 1896. The resolution seeks to honor those who have died in the line of duty and those who provide service during crises. It encourages the American people to observe this day with reflection.
