What does this mean?

This is a procedural resolution that sets the rules for how the House will debate and vote on three separate bills, rather than changing any law itself. One bill would stop the VA (the agency that handles veterans' benefits and medical care) from automatically sending certain veterans' names to the FBI's gun background-check system, meaning fewer veterans would be flagged there. Another would raise the monthly payments the VA gives to disabled veterans and to surviving spouses/family members of veterans who died from service-related causes. The third would let the Smithsonian build a museum honoring American women's history on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., in the same protected core area where monuments like the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial sit.
