This Senate resolution expresses support for designating July 10, 2026, as Journeyman Lineworkers Recognition Day, honoring the workers who build, maintain, and repair the nation's electrical grid. It highlights the dangerous and demanding nature of the job, noting that lineworkers often labor in extreme weather and hazardous conditions, including during hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes, and ice storms, to keep power running and restore it after outages. The date was chosen to mark the 130th anniversary of the death of Henry Miller, the first president of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, who died in 1896 while restoring electricity in Washington, D.C. The resolution does not create any new laws, programs, or funding; it simply affirms the Senate's recognition of lineworkers' contributions and sacrifices and encourages Americans to observe the day with appropriate reflection. As a symbolic resolution, it primarily affects public awareness and does not impose binding requirements on any government agency or private entity.
