H.Res. 823 is a symbolic resolution supporting the designation of the week beginning October 19, 2025, as "Coal Week" to recognize the contributions of coal industry workers and coal's role in U.S. energy production. The resolution acknowledges that coal provided about 19.5 percent of U.S. electricity in 2022 and highlights its historical importance to American industrialization and military development. The bill emphasizes that coal remains important for national security and economic stability while noting progress in reducing emissions from coal power plants through advanced technologies. This resolution does not authorize any funding or create new policy requirements—it is purely a statement of support from the House of Representatives recognizing the coal industry and its workers. The resolution was introduced by representatives from coal-producing states including Utah, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania and was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce.
