Relative to National Public Works Week.

California Assembly Resolution 39 (AR39), introduced by Assembly Member Diane Papan and adopted on May 15, 2025, declares the week of May 18 to May 24, 2025, as National Public Works Week in California. The resolution acknowledges the essential role of public works professionals in maintaining and improving infrastructure and services vital to public health, safety, and quality of life. It also requests the Governor to issue a proclamation encouraging Californians to observe the week with appropriate programs and educational activities.

The California State Association of Counties (CSAC) supported AR39, emphasizing the critical contributions of public works professionals to community resilience and public safety. CSAC highlighted the importance of recognizing these individuals who plan, design, construct, operate, and maintain essential infrastructure systems. The Port of San Diego also celebrated National Public Works Week, aligning with the resolution's objectives by honoring public works professionals and their role in maintaining vital community services.

There is no specific negative media coverage regarding AR39. Given that the resolution is ceremonial, aiming to recognize the contributions of public works professionals without imposing new regulations or costs, it is unlikely to face significant opposition or criticism.
