A resolution expressing support for the designation of July 10, 2025, as Journeyman Lineworkers Recognition Day.

Plain-English Summary

This is a resolution passed by the U.S. Senate that officially expresses support for designating July 10, 2025, as Journeyman Lineworkers Recognition Day. A resolution like this does not create new laws, spend money, or require any action from government agencies — it is a formal statement of recognition and appreciation from Congress.

The resolution honors journeyman lineworkers, the skilled tradespeople who build, maintain, and repair the electrical power lines that deliver electricity to homes, businesses, schools, and hospitals across the country. These workers often perform physically demanding and dangerous jobs, frequently working at great heights, in difficult weather conditions, and during emergencies such as storms or natural disasters to restore power to affected communities.

The bill affects the general public primarily in a symbolic way, drawing attention to a profession that many Americans rely on but may not often think about. It also holds meaning for the hundreds of thousands of lineworkers and their families across the United States, as well as the labor organizations and utility companies that represent and employ them. The Senate passed this resolution unanimously, meaning there was no opposition from any senator.
