Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This resolution recognizes linemen as essential workers and first responders who maintain the nation's electrical infrastructure and support public safety. The bill expresses support for designating April 18, 2026, as "National Lineman Appreciation Day" to honor these workers who perform dangerous work around high-voltage powerlines around the clock, often during emergencies and natural disasters. The resolution acknowledges that linemen work in hazardous conditions, frequently away from their families, to keep electricity flowing to homes, schools, and businesses. The measure does not involve any funding or create new programs; it is a symbolic congressional expression of recognition and appreciation for the lineman profession. The resolution was introduced on April 20, 2026, and is sponsored by a bipartisan group of over 40 House members.
