HJR 156 Alabama House · 2025 Regular Session

Bicentennial of the Marquis de Lafayette 1825 Visit to Alabama, commemorated

This is a ceremonial resolution (HJR 156), not a legislative bill with policy changes. It formally commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Marquis de Lafayette's 1825 visit to Alabama, which included stops in Montgomery, Mobile, and other locations. The resolution "commends" Alabama organizations hosting related educational events (March 30-April 8, 2025) and directs that each host receive a copy of the resolution. It has no binding effect or new funding - it is purely symbolic recognition of historical events.
