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 November 29, 2025, as Small Business Saturday. It supports efforts to increase awareness of the value of locally owned small businesses. The text highlights that there are over 36,200,000 small businesses in the United States. These businesses represent 99.9 percent of all businesses with employees in the country. They also employ nearly 46 percent of private sector employees and pay 38.7 percent of the total private sector payroll. Finally, the House of Representatives resolves to encourage the observance of this day and support shopping locally.
