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 September 13 through 19, 2026, as National Adult Education and Family Literacy Week. It highlights data showing that many adults in the United States lack a high school credential or perform at lower levels in literacy and numeracy. The text notes that adult education and family literacy programs are essential for economic strength, career advancement, and supporting the well-being of children. The House of Representatives resolves to support this designation to raise public awareness of these programs. Furthermore, the resolution encourages stronger partnerships to create effective pathways to education and employment.
