INTERNATIONAL COMMERCE: Establishes the Louisiana-Ireland Trade Commission.
SCR 21 establishes the Louisiana-Ireland Trade Commission through a concurrent resolution, creating a body to boost commercial ties between Louisiana and Ireland.

It must submit final recommendations to the governor and legislature by March 1, 2026, and will dissolve by August 1, 2026. This resolution directly affects Louisiana businesses and Irish partners seeking stronger economic partnerships.
