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 theme for this year is "People, Purpose, Presence." The resolution supports the week and encourages citizens to pay tribute to those in the industry.
