H.Res. 427 is a ceremonial resolution that recognizes National Public Works Week, observed May 18-24, 2025, marking the 65th annual celebration of this profession. The resolution honors public works professionals—including engineers, managers, and first responders employed by federal, state, local, and private sector organizations—who maintain and protect the nation's critical infrastructure such as transportation systems, water supplies, wastewater treatment, and public buildings. These workers are recognized for their essential role in ensuring communities have reliable and resilient services, and for often being first to respond to natural disasters and emergencies. The resolution has no direct funding or legal requirements; it simply encourages Americans to acknowledge and appreciate the contributions public works professionals make to public health, safety, and quality of life. The measure was introduced on May 19, 2025, and referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
