RESOLUTION

Expressing support for the designation of the week of June 7 through 
June 13, 2026, 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 950,000 new light- and 
medium-duty trailers registered in 2025; 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.
