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 authorizes testimony and the production of documents by Ian Madigan, a former employee of former Senator Robert P. Casey, Jr., in a court case named United States v. Kaminski. It also allows other former employees from the Senator's office to provide relevant testimony and documents if necessary. Additionally, the resolution authorizes the Senate Legal Counsel to represent Mr. Madigan and any other former employees from the Senator's office during this process. The text notes that this action is taken because the evidence may promote the administration of justice.
