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 provides for the consideration of several different legislative items in the House. It includes provisions to consider a joint resolution to disapprove a Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection rule regarding overdraft lending at very large financial institutions. It also provides for the consideration of a joint resolution to disapprove a rule regarding the definition of larger participants in the digital consumer payment application market. Additionally, the resolution covers the consideration of H.R. 1526, which seeks to limit district court authority regarding injunctive relief. Finally, it provides for the consideration of H.R. 22, which would amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require proof of citizenship for federal election registration.
