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 sets the rules for how the House of Representatives will consider a specific bill, H.R. 9899. That underlying bill designates Afghanistan under section 244 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. This designation permits nationals of Afghanistan to be eligible for temporary protected status. The resolution states that immediately upon its adoption, the House will proceed to consider H.R. 9899. It waives all points of order against the consideration of the bill and against its provisions.

Finally, it requires the Clerk to send a message to the Senate that the House passed H.R. 9899 within three calendar days after its passage.
