SR 180 Louisiana Senate · 2025 Regular Session

COMMENDATIONS: Commends DJ Daniel and his family for their strength and perseverance.

This resolution (SR 180) is a ceremonial commendation by the Louisiana Senate honoring Devarjaye "DJ" Daniel, a young man who has battled brain and spinal cancer since age six, and his family. It recognizes DJ's resilience, his dream of becoming a police officer inspired after Hurricane Harvey, and his honorary appointments with over 1,300 law enforcement agencies, including a 2025 swearing-in as a U.S. Secret Service agent. As a symbolic resolution, it does not create any legal obligations or affect policies - it serves solely to publicly acknowledge DJ's story and his family's support.

SR180 Original → SR180 Enrolled · 3 edits · Jun 10, 2025

MINOR

The bill was formally enrolled, adding the full list of sponsoring senators and standardizing the official title to 'A Resolution.' The substantive content commending Devarjaye 'DJ' Daniel for his resilience and honorary police officer status remained unchanged, with only minor phrasing adjustments to the WHEREAS clauses. No new policies, funding, or eligibility criteria were introduced.

Scope change

None; the bill's scope and applicability remain identical to the original version.

TECHNICAL

Added the complete list of co-sponsoring senators to the enrolled version, which was missing in the original draft.

Refined the resolution's title and the narrative text in the WHEREAS clauses for clarity and flow, but the core message and facts remained the same.

Removed the internal legislative services digest and keyword summary, which are procedural notes not part of the final law.
