The California State Senate on May 5 adopted Senate Concurrent Resolution 62, recognizing National Public Works Week and commending public works professionals for their service. The resolution was adopted by unanimous consent/roll call (Ayes 38, Noes 0).

Senator Becker presented the resolution, noting the role public works employees play in maintaining infrastructure, responding to emergencies and supporting public health and safety. She highlighted the 65th annual National Public Works Week and urged Californians to thank local public works staff for their efforts.

Why it matters: Sponsors said public works professionals are essential both in daily operations and during crises, when they help restore services and rebuild communities.

Outcome: SCR 62 was adopted without objection; the resolution is ceremonial and does not appropriate funds.
