SPECIAL DAY/WEEK/MONTH: Designates June 2-6, 2025, as CPR and AED Awareness Week in Louisiana and commends Caroline Ross, Layton Fontenot, and Hayes Kirkpatrick for their heroic acts and commitment to the well-being of others
This resolution designates June 2-6, 2025, as CPR and AED Awareness Week in Louisiana to promote public education about life-saving skills. It specifically commends Caroline Ross, Layton Fontenot, and Hayes Kirkpatrick for their real-world actions during a May 2025 medical emergency at a Baton Rouge facility, where they performed CPR and used an AED. The resolution encourages all Louisianans to learn CPR and familiarize themselves with AED use, aligning with the American Heart Association's National CPR Awareness Week. As a commemorative resolution, it does not create new laws or requirements but serves to highlight the importance of these skills for community safety.

The substantive policy content, including the designated dates, the specific individuals being commended, and the background facts of the emergency, remained unchanged. The primary changes involve formatting adjustments, the removal of a digest section, and the addition of official signatures and page numbering required for the final enrolled bill.
Scope change
No change in scope or applicability; the bill's subject matter and legal effect are identical to the original version.
TECHNICAL
The document header was updated from 'HLS 25RS-3826 ORIGINAL' to 'ENROLLED', indicating the bill has passed all legislative stages and is in its final form.
The 'DIGEST' section, which provides a non-binding summary prepared by legislative staff, was removed as it is not part of the final law.
