What does this mean?

This is a procedural resolution that sets the ground rules for the House of Representatives to debate and vote on four separate bills — it doesn't change any laws itself. Those four bills would: make daylight saving time permanent (ending the twice-yearly clock changes); fund national security and State Department programs (things like diplomacy and foreign embassies) through September 2027; update veterans' benefits and how the Department of Veterans Affairs (the agency handling veterans' healthcare and benefits) is run; and stop credit card companies from using special tracking codes that single out gun shops separately from other retailers. This resolution just schedules those debates — it's a step that happens before any of those bills can actually pass or become law.
