What this bill does
H.Res. 575 is a simple resolution expressing the House of Representatives' non-binding view on how 5G wireless networks should be deployed and secured. It states that all stakeholders involved in building out 5G infrastructure—including network operators, equipment suppliers, and service providers—should carefully consider following the recommendations known as "The Prague Proposals," a set of security and policy guidelines developed at a May 2019 international conference in Prague attended by officials from 32 countries. The resolution also encourages the President and federal agencies to pursue global trade and security policies consistent with these proposals and to urge U.S. allies to adopt them for their own 5G networks. The full text of the Prague Proposals, covering policy, technology, economic, and security/privacy/resilience principles for 5G supply chains, is included in the resolution.
The resolution primarily affects federal policymakers, telecommunications companies, and international partners involved in 5G deployment, though it creates no legal obligations or funding. It reflects Congress's position on supply-chain security and international cooperation regarding next-generation wireless networks.
As a simple resolution, H.Res. 575 does not require Senate action or presidential signature and has no force of law. It was introduced on September 24, 2019, by Rep. Bill Flores, and the House agreed to it, as amended, by voice vote on January 8, 2020. This action completed the legislative process for the resolution; no further steps are expected.
