What does this mean?

This isn't a bill that changes any laws itself — it's a procedural resolution that sets the rules for how the House of Representatives will debate and vote on six separate, unrelated bills. Those bills cover things like: changing which streams, wetlands, and waterways count as "waters of the United States" and get federal pollution protections; letting certain investment funds put money into private funds not normally open to everyday investors; requiring the government to study and report on whether the U.S. has enough equipment and materials to keep building and maintaining the power grid; requiring state utility regulators to factor in whether power sources are reliable (like whether they can run on demand, not just when weather allows) when approving utility plans; speeding up how different federal agencies coordinate when approving natural gas pipeline and export projects; and — unrelated to energy — ordering the Department of Veterans Affairs to dig up and relocate the remains of one specific individual, Fernando V. Cota, from a military cemetery in Texas. In short, this resolution just clears the path for the House to consider and vote on these six bills; it doesn't itself change any laws or affect anyone directly.
