The committee holds it, and most bills are never heard from again. A hearing or a committee vote would be news; silence is the usual outcome, and it kills the bill without anyone voting against it.

Its path through Congress

  1. Introduced
  2. In Committee

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 American animal agriculture and highlights its role in food security, lowering food costs, and economic growth. It notes that the United States has about one million livestock producers, and the vast majority of farms are operated by families. The text points out challenges faced by producers, including regulations, weather, and mental health struggles. It states that animal products provide essential nutrients that are difficult to replace with plant-based foods. Finally, the resolution outlines commitments by the House of Representatives to support workers, expand access to animal products, and oppose certain mandates.
