What does this mean?

This isn't a law itself — it's a procedural resolution that sets the rules for how the House of Representatives will debate and vote on six separate bills. Those bills would: let college athletes get paid for use of their name and image; ban K-12 public schools from taking money or contracts from the Chinese government or Communist Party; require schools to tell parents about any foreign government influence in their child's school; block federal school funding from going to K-12 schools that get support from the Chinese government; cap the paperwork and compliance costs (called a "regulatory budget") that federal regulators can impose on small businesses each year, so those costs can't increase; and set up a hotline where small business owners can report government rules they find overly burdensome. This resolution itself doesn't change any of those policies — it just clears the path for the House to actually consider and vote on them.
