tv_txt: IV 119th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 112 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES February 5, 2025 Mr. Panetta (for himself, Mr. Bacon , Mr. Neguse , and Mr. Baird ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary RESOLUTION Expressing support for the designation of February 5, 2025, as National Prosecutors Day .

Whereas the House of Representatives wishes to recognize prosecutors as essential contributors to our legal system, that diligently work to ensure fair and impartial justice, deter criminal behavior, and protect the fundamental rights and safety of our communities; Whereas prosecutors are dedicated public servants who strongly advocate for victims by amplifying their voices, supporting trauma-informed, victim-centered services, and implementing compassionate, community-driven initiatives; Whereas the impact of prosecutors extends beyond the courtroom, including collaborative efforts with law enforcement, community leaders, victims support networks, and public organizations to develop comprehensive approaches that foster community trust, promote public safety, and create sustainable pathways to prosperity; and Whereas the National District Attorneys Association (NDAA) commemorates its 75th year of service as the preeminent organization supporting America’s prosecutors, providing comprehensive training, critical resources, and impactful advocacy to uphold justice and protect communities nationwide: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) supports the designation of a National Prosecutors Day ; (2) calls upon all residents to join in recognizing the vital work these public servants partake in to maintain justice and ensure safety among our communities; and (3) urges State, Tribal, and local governments to— (A) spread awareness and promote the existence of National Prosecutors Day and appreciation for the role of prosecutors in our communities; and (B) educate the public about the integral role of prosecutors and the judicial system as a whole play in ensuring community safety and prosperity.
