Senate Resolution 261
By: Senator Cowsert of the 46th
A RESOLUTION
Commending Georgia's lineworkers and recognizing April 14, 2025, as Georgia Lineworker
Appreciation Day at the state capitol; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, the profession of a lineworker is steeped in personal, family, and professional
tradition; and
WHEREAS, lineworkers are often first responders during storms and other catastrophic
events, working to make the scene safe for other public safety heroes; and
WHEREAS, lineworkers work with thousands of volts of electricity high atop power lines,
24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to keep electricity flowing; and
WHEREAS, lineworkers must often work under dangerous conditions, far from their
families, to construct and maintain the energy infrastructure of this state; and
WHEREAS, lineworkers put their lives on the line every day with little recognition from the
community regarding the danger of their work; and
WHEREAS, it is most fitting and proper that the lineworkers of Georgia be recognized for
their effective and dedicated service to the people of the State of Georgia.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body
commend Georgia's lineworkers for their efforts in keeping the power on and protecting
public safety and recognize April 14, 2025, as Georgia Lineworker Appreciation Day at the
state capitol.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate is authorized and directed
to make appropriate copies of this resolution available for distribution to the public and the
press.
