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 recognizes the 20th anniversary of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). The RFS was first established in 2005 and expanded in 2007 to increase the supply of domestic renewable energy. The measure highlights how the program supports rural communities, the economy, and energy security. It also notes the role of the RFS in improving environmental performance through greenhouse gas emissions reductions. Finally, the resolution supports the continued implementation of the RFS as it was enacted in 2007.
