By designating a special day in their honor, the resolution aims to enhance public awareness regarding the critical nature of their work, potentially leading to greater appreciation and respect from the public.

Summary

Senate Resolution 756 seeks to recognize April 13, 2026, as Georgia Lineworker Appreciation Day. This day is intended to honor the dedicated work of lineworkers who play a crucial role in maintaining the electrical infrastructure within the state.
