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 elects specific members to standing committees in the House of Representatives. It names Ms. Pingree and Mr. Carbajal to the Committee on Agriculture. It also names Mr. Schneider and Ms. Dean of Pennsylvania to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. The resolution was agreed to in the House of Representatives on February 25, 2025. It deals entirely with internal committee assignments for the 119th Congress.
