Adopted by the Senate

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

What this bill would do

This resolution expresses support for designating July 10, 2025, as Journeyman Lineworkers Recognition Day. It recognizes the critical role these workers play in maintaining the United States energy grid. The resolution highlights that lineworkers work long hours and often in dangerous conditions to restore power during disasters. It also notes the historical significance of July 10 as the anniversary of the death of Henry Miller, the first president of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. Finally, the resolution seeks to honor the sacrifices made by hundreds of thousands of men and women in this profession.
