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.

It cites independent studies suggesting that these drugs may have a higher rate of serious complications than what is currently reported. The resolution also calls for the public release of a full safety review that includes real-world outcomes and complications.
