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 proposes amendments to two previous House resolutions. It specifically targets House Resolution 211, which relates to a national emergency declared on February 1, 2025. It also targets House Resolution 313, which relates to a national emergency declared on April 2, 2025. The primary action involves striking specific sections within those resolutions. These changes ensure that days occurring during the first session are treated as calendar days for the purposes of joint resolutions to terminate the emergencies.
