A Senate resolution is the Senate speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the Senate agrees to it, it is officially the Senate's word; it is not a law, so the House and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution establishes the minority party's membership on several specific committees for the One Hundred Nineteenth Congress. It defines which Senators will serve on various committees, such as Agriculture, Appropriations, and Armed Services. These assignments remain in effect for the duration of the One Hundred Nineteenth Congress or until their successors are chosen. The resolution covers a wide range of committees including Finance, Judiciary, and Veterans' Affairs.
