A Resolution designating the month of April 2025 as "Pennsylvania 8-1-1 Safe Digging Month."
HR 34 is a symbolic resolution designating April 2025 as "Pennsylvania 8-1-1 Safe Digging Month." It encourages excavators and homeowners to call 8-1-1 (or 1-800-242-1776) before digging to locate underground utility lines, as required by Pennsylvania's One Call Act. The resolution highlights the Pennsylvania One Call System's role in preventing injuries, environmental damage, and utility disruptions, noting it handles over 1 million annual requests. It does not create new laws or funding but promotes existing safety practices through public awareness.
