submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee

_______________________________________________________________________
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
Resolved, 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.
