 RESOLUTION

 Expressing support for the designation of the week of June 1 through 
June 7, 2025, as ``National Trailer Safety Week'' in the United States, 
and supporting the goals and ideals of National Trailer Safety Week to 
 educate American motorists about the importance of proper towing 
 techniques and maintenance.

Whereas ``National Trailer Safety Week'' was launched to raise awareness about 
 the need for increased education on trailer safety to further reduce 
 injuries and fatalities on the road;
Whereas educating end-users is crucial to utilize the connections that dealers 
 and manufacturers have with consumers in order to raise awareness of 
 proper towing techniques and maintenance;
Whereas national trailer growth remains high, with 964,000 new light- and 
 medium-duty trailers registered in 2024; and
Whereas the National Association of Trailer Manufacturer's Trailer Safety Week 
 reaches hundreds of thousands of individuals each year, and is the first 
 nationwide traffic safety initiative aimed at addressing safe towing 
 practices for light- and medium-duty trailers: Now, therefore, be it
 Resolved, That the House of Representatives--

    (1) supports the designation of ``National Trailer Safety 
 Week''; and

    (2) expresses strong support for--
        (A) the goals and ideals of National Trailer Safety 
 Week;
        (B) efforts to increase awareness of the importance 
 of being committed to trailer safety;
            (C) educating end-users about proper trailer 
 maintenance and usage;
            (D) creating a stronger partnership and alliance 
 between stakeholders of the industry, including 
 suppliers, trailer dealers, and manufacturers, and end-
 users; and
        (E) encouraging the people of the United States to 
 participate in National Trailer Safety Week events and 
 activities, and educate themselves and others on the 
 importance of regularly inspecting, maintaining, and 
 operating light- and medium-duty trailers.
