This is a non-controversial resolution with many sponsors from both parties. It is a simple way for lawmakers to show support for workers without spending money.

Key Points

This resolution officially recognizes the hard work and bravery of electrical linemen. It asks the House of Representatives to support naming April 18, 2025, as National Lineman Appreciation Day.
The proposal highlights that linemen are often the first people on the scene during storms or disasters. They work to make areas safe so that other emergency workers like police and firefighters can do their jobs.
Linemen often work in very dangerous conditions high above the ground. They work all hours of the day and night to make sure homes, schools, and businesses have the electricity they need to stay open.
By passing this, the House would formally recognize linemen as first responders. This honors the risks they take to maintain the country's energy grid and keep the public safe.
