This is a resolution expressing the House of Representatives' support for rural America. It's not a law that creates new rules or requirements—instead, it's a statement of values and recognition of work already done. The resolution acknowledges that rural communities play a vital role in America's economy and environment. It highlights that rural areas cover over 70% of U.S. land and are home to nearly 20% of the population, yet they produce the majority of the nation's energy (both renewable and coal), grow our food, and manufacture critical goods. The resolution celebrates various bills the House has already passed that the members believe help rural communities, including measures to streamline natural gas pipeline construction, protect the reliability of the electric grid, expand broadband internet access, improve rural healthcare through a $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Program, support manufacturing growth, and address the opioid crisis. It also mentions efforts to reduce appliance costs, expand telehealth services for seniors, and give rural Americans more choices in vehicle purchases. Essentially, this resolution is the House saying 'we recognize rural communities are important to America, and here's what we've done to support them.'
