           SUMMARY  :  Designates July 10, 2014, as Journeyman Lineman  
          Recognition Day to honor and recognize the contribution of the  
          countless journeyman linemen who often place themselves in  
          harm's way to serve their communities.  Specifically,  this  
          resolution  makes the following legislative findings:

          1)Journeyman linemen put their lives on the line every day to  
            ensure safe and reliable power for Californians by working at  
            heights and in close proximity to energized electric lines  
            and, in emergencies, often work extremely long hours under  
            sometimes dangerous conditions to restore power.

          2)Henry Miller, the first elected president of the International  
            Brotherhood of Electric Workers, was killed on July 10, 1896,  
            at just 38 years old due to injuries sustained while  
            troubleshooting an electrical outage.

          3)Journeyman Lineman Recognition Day is hereby created to honor  
            those industry first responders who have given their lives in  
            the line of duty along with those who provide skillful service  
            in times of local, state, or national crisis.

           FISCAL EFFECT  :  None
