En lenguaje claro
This resolution from the Georgia Senate does not change any law. It formally commends lineworkers, the utility workers who build and repair power lines, for their work keeping electricity flowing and responding to storms and other emergencies. The resolution notes that lineworkers often work in dangerous conditions, far from home, and are frequently among the first on the scene after storms to help make areas safe for other emergency responders. The resolution designates April 13, 2026 as Georgia Lineworker Appreciation Day at the state capitol. It also directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to the public and the press.
