Designates a day of recognition honoring journeyman lineworkers and formally recognizes their role in keeping the electric grid safe, reliable, and affordable. The resolution commemorates July 10, 2025 as the 129th anniversary of the death of Henry Miller and calls attention to the long, dangerous hours and service of lineworkers during disasters and hazardous conditions. The measure is symbolic: it does not create new programs, change law, or authorize spending. Its effect is to acknowledge and honor the contributions and sacrifices of hundreds of thousands of lineworkers and to encourage recognition of their service.
