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 expresses support for designating December 4, 2025, as "National Scam Prevention Day." The document notes that U.S. citizens reported losing $16,600,000,000 to scams in 2024. It highlights that losses grew by 33 percent between 2023 and 2024. The text also mentions that the Federal Trade Commission estimates true losses could be closer to $158,300,000,000 due to underreporting. Furthermore, it points to the involvement of global criminal organizations and various cartels in these operations.
