In committee

Introduced and handed to a committee in the chamber it started in.

The committee holds it, and most bills are never heard from again. A hearing or a committee vote would be news; silence is the usual outcome, and it kills the bill without anyone voting against it.

Its path through Congress

  1. Introduced
  2. In Committee

A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution recognizes the profession of linemen and their contributions to public safety. It highlights that linemen work high atop powerlines under dangerous conditions to maintain the nation's energy infrastructure. The resolution notes that these workers often serve as first responders during storms and catastrophic events. Finally, the House of Representatives expresses support for designating April 18, 2026, as "National Lineman Appreciation Day."
