Summary
H.Res.39 concerns the internal organization of the House of Representatives. Specifically, it resolves that Ms. Maloy will be ranked on the Committee on Appropriations immediately after Mr. Strong. This resolution is a routine procedural matter within the House.
The resolution itself does not create any new laws or policies. It simply establishes the order in which members are ranked on a specific committee.
This ranking can influence a member's ability to influence the committee's work, but the direct impact on the American people is minimal.
