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 establishes a Select Committee in the House of Representatives aimed at defeating the Mexican drug cartels. The committee is composed of up to 21 members, including representatives from several specific existing committees. Its primary authority is to investigate the operations of the cartels and their international networks, as well as government efforts to target them. While the committee has investigative jurisdiction, it does not have the authority to take legislative action itself. The committee is tasked with submitting policy recommendations and legislative proposals to the House and relevant standing committees. All final reports must be submitted to the House by December 31, 2026.
