What does this mean?

This is a procedural resolution that sets the rules for how the House of Representatives will debate and vote on six separate bills — it doesn't change any laws itself. Those six bills would: change how federal agencies review environmental impacts of projects like highways or pipelines before approving them; make it easier for mining companies to use nearby land for waste and equipment when digging for metals like gold or copper; take gray wolves off the endangered species list, ending their special legal protections; require the federal agency that oversees the electric grid to double-check that its rules aren't accidentally making power outages more likely; require power plant owners to give advance notice before shutting down a plant, so grid operators can plan for the lost electricity; and strengthen an existing law aimed at stopping human trafficking of children. In short, this resolution is just the "green light" allowing the House to formally take up and vote on those six unrelated bills.
