Latest Action · April 17, 2025
Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This resolution expresses congressional support for recognizing linemen as essential workers and designates April 18, 2025, as "National Lineman Appreciation Day." The measure acknowledges the dangerous and demanding work linemen perform, including maintaining power infrastructure around the clock, responding to storms and emergencies, and often working away from their families under hazardous conditions. The resolution, which passed the House with broad bipartisan support from over 40 representatives, formally recognizes linemen as first responders who play a vital role in protecting public safety and maintaining the nation's economy. This is a symbolic gesture with no budget requirements or long-term funding implications—it simply designates a single day to honor the contributions and sacrifices of electrical linemen across the country.
