A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution expresses support for designating July 10th as Journeyman Lineworkers Recognition Day. It acknowledges that journeyman lineworkers provide vital services by ensuring safe and reliable power. The text notes that these workers often operate at heights and near energized electric lines. It also highlights their service during national and regional disasters like hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes, and pandemics. Additionally, the resolution references the death of Henry Miller, the first elected president of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, who died on July 10, 1896.
