A resolution supporting the goals and ideals of National Safe Digging Month.

This resolution (SRES 656) is a symbolic Senate expression of support for National Safe Digging Month in April. It encourages all homeowners and excavators to contact 811 - either by phone or online - before digging to locate underground utility lines. The resolution also urges damage prevention stakeholders to educate the public about this safety practice, referencing that 25% of utility damage incidents occur when people fail to call 811 first. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws or requirements.
