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 condemns racism, xenophobia, and religious bigotry. It calls for an independent commission to review past and ongoing government profiling policies.
