Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This resolution is a simple House resolution that recognizes and honors linemen and expresses support for designating April 18, 2026 as National Lineman Appreciation Day. It states the House's view and offers recognition but does not create or change any federal law or establish an official federal holiday. Because it is only a statement by the House, it does not require action by the Senate or the President.
As a simple resolution, it would be considered and adopted only by the House of Representatives and is non-binding; it does not go to the Senate or the President and does not have the force of law.
A non-binding House resolution recognizing the work of linemen, supporting designation of April 18, 2026, as National Lineman Appreciation Day, and recognizing linemen as first responders.
As a nonbinding House resolution, it is unlikely to become binding law; House adoption probable but statutory enactment unlikely.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a straightforward commemorative House resolution that clearly states its purpose and uses standard declaratory language appropriate for recognizing a profession and supporting a date designation. It contains the expected minimal operative provisions for such a resolution and does not attempt to create binding legal or administrative effects.
