HR 370 Louisiana House · 2025 Regular Session

SPECIAL DAY/WEEK/MONTH: Recognizes June 19, 2025, as a day of celebration in Louisiana in honor of Juneteenth

HR 370 is a ceremonial resolution recognizing June 19, 2025, as a day of celebration in Louisiana to honor Juneteenth. It commemorates the historical significance of June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers enforced the Emancipation Proclamation in Galveston, Texas, ending slavery in the Confederate states. The resolution does not create new laws or programs but formally designates this date for observance and celebrates African American history and culture. As a symbolic gesture, it affects all Louisianans by encouraging community recognition of this historical event. This procedural resolution has passed through the Louisiana House of Representatives and is now pending final steps.

MINOR

The bill was converted from an original draft to its final enrolled version, which involved removing the legislative services digest and internal tracking numbers while adding official signatures and page numbering.

Scope change

No change in scope or applicability; the bill affects the same entities and covers the same subject matter.

TECHNICAL

Removed the 'Digest' section and internal document identifiers (e.g., HLS 25RS-4359) which are informational and not part of the law.

Added the 'ENROLLED' header, the Speaker of the House signature line, and final page numbering to indicate the bill has passed all legislative stages.

Reformatted the text to remove line breaks and indentation artifacts present in the original draft, resulting in a clean, continuous text layout.
