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 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 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 Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized and directed to make appropriate copies of this resolution available for distribution to the public and the press.
