The resolution recognizes April 18, 2025, as Electric Utility Lineworker Appreciation Day in Vermont, highlighting the critical role that electric utility workers play in maintaining the state's power infrastructure. It emphasizes the importance of electric power in daily life and acknowledges the dangers these workers face, especially during adverse weather conditions that can damage power lines and disrupt service. The resolution notes that these dedicated individuals work long hours under hazardous conditions to restore power and ensure public safety, often without receiving the recognition they deserve.
In addition to honoring the contributions of Vermont's electric utility employees, the resolution aligns with the national observance of National Lineman Appreciation Day, which is celebrated on the same date. The General Assembly calls for this day to be officially recognized in Vermont and directs the Secretary of State to distribute copies of the resolution to all electric utilities in the state, ensuring that the efforts of these unsung heroes are acknowledged and appreciated.
