CONDOLENCES: Expresses the condolences of the House of Representatives on the death of Spencer Leak, Jr.
This resolution expresses the condolences of the Louisiana House of Representatives on the death of Spencer Leak, Jr., a vice president of a funeral home in Chicago. The text honors his legacy as a community leader who advocated for affordable burials and supported civil rights efforts in the city. It serves as a formal gesture of respect from the state legislature to his family and friends rather than enacting new laws or policies.

MINOR
The bill was converted from an original draft to an enrolled version, primarily changing the document title to reflect the 2026 Regular Session and adding a formal signature line for the Speaker of the House. The substantive content of the resolution, which expresses condolences for Spencer Leak, Jr., remains identical in both versions.
TECHNICAL
The document header was updated to include 'ENROLLED' and the session year '2026 Regular Session', while the page numbering was adjusted to reflect a single page instead of two.
A signature line for the 'Speaker of the House of Representatives' was added at the bottom of the page, which is standard for enrolled bills.
The original draft included a 'DIGEST' section explaining the bill's purpose; this was removed as it is not part of the final legal text.
