HB 358 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

HIGHWAYS: Designates a portion of Louisiana Highway 433 as the "Charles R. Bordelon, Sr. Memorial Highway"

HB 358 is a procedural bill that designates a specific 1.5-mile segment of Louisiana Highway 433 in Slidell (from Vaultz Road to Pinehurst Boulevard) as the "Charles R. Bordelon, Sr. Memorial Highway." It requires the Department of Transportation to install and maintain signage at a designated location, funded by local/private contributions covering costs up to $750 per sign. The bill has no policy impact beyond this ceremonial naming and affects no specific individuals or entities beyond the highway corridor. As a commemorative resolution, it does not alter laws or allocate state funds.

What changed between versions

HB358 Original → HB358 Act · 3 edits

MINOR

The bill was finalized and enrolled into law, changing its status from a draft proposal to an enacted act. The primary substantive change is the correction of the memorial highway's name to include commas around 'Sr.' for grammatical consistency. The digest, which previously summarized the bill's intent and funding conditions, was removed as it is not part of the final legal text.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on designating a specific stretch of Louisiana Highway 433 in Slidell as a memorial highway, but the text was refined to correct the title format.

TECHNICAL

Corrected the highway name from 'Charles R. Bordelon Sr. Memorial Highway' to 'Charles R. Bordelon, Sr., Memorial Highway' by adding commas around 'Sr.'

Removed the original header information, digest summary, and page count metadata that were present in the preliminary version but are not part of the final law

ENFORCEMENT

Added the official 'APPROVED' signature block and Governor's approval section, confirming the bill has become law
