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

The text highlights that the motorcycling community promotes safety through education and training. It also notes that motorcyclists face higher fatality rates than passenger vehicle motorists.
