Bill > HCR058

This concurrent resolution recognizes April 18, 2025 as Electric Utility Lineworker Appreciation Day in Vermont, highlighting the critical role that electric utility lineworkers play in maintaining essential power infrastructure. The resolution emphasizes that electric power transmission is vital for daily life, and lineworkers are often called upon to respond to challenging and dangerous conditions caused by weather events like lightning, snow, and wind that damage power lines. The document notes that these dedicated employees work for cooperative, investor-owned, and municipal utilities, often under extremely hazardous circumstances and extended hours to restore electricity and eliminate potential safety hazards. By recognizing these workers on April 18 (which is nationally observed as Lineman Appreciation Day), the resolution aims to honor these "unsung heroes" whose professional and essential work is frequently underappreciated. Additionally, the resolution directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to each electric utility in Vermont, formally acknowledging the lineworkers' contributions to public safety and community well-being.
