HR 318 Louisiana House · 2025 Regular Session

CONDOLENCES: Expresses the condolences of the House of Representatives on the death of Charles B. "Charlie" Rangel

This is a ceremonial resolution expressing condolences from Louisiana's House of Representatives for the late U.S. Congressman Charles B. "Charlie" Rangel, who died on May 26, 2025. The resolution honors Rangel's 46-year congressional career, military service (including a Bronze Star), leadership as the first African American chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, and legislative work on initiatives like the Affordable Care Act and the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act. It does not create new laws or affect any policies - it is purely a formal expression of sympathy for his passing. The resolution was adopted by the Louisiana House on June 8, 2025.
