SPECIAL DAY/WEEK/MONTH: Recognizes March 31, 2026, as Southern University Day at the Capitol
This bill designates March 31, 2026, as Southern University Day at the Capitol to honor the Southern University System's 146-year legacy. It recognizes the system's five campuses and their contributions to education, research, and community service across Louisiana.

This is a commemorative measure that does not change laws or allocate funding, but rather acknowledges the university system's impact.

MINOR
The bill was converted from a draft House Resolution to its final enrolled version, which is the official text used for printing and legal citation. The substantive policy content, including the recognition of Southern University Day on March 31, 2026, and the specific commendations for the university's achievements, remained unchanged. The primary differences are formatting adjustments, such as the removal of the legislative digest and the addition of the Speaker's signature block.
TECHNICAL
The document was finalized by removing the explanatory digest and adding the Speaker of the House signature block, converting it from a draft to an official enrolled bill.
