Plain-English Summary

Congress would officially recognize May 2025 as "National Electrical Safety Month" to raise awareness about the dangers of electrical hazards and promote safe practices among workers, homeowners, and the general public. The designation would encourage electrical companies, safety organizations, and government agencies to highlight the importance of proper electrical installation, maintenance, and usage to prevent injuries and deaths from electrical accidents. This is a symbolic measure intended to draw attention to electrical safety education and prevention efforts rather than create new laws or regulations.
