COMMENDATIONS: Commends and recognizes U.S. Highway 80 for historical significance.

Senate Resolution 137 is a commemorative measure that formally acknowledges the historical importance of U.S. Highway 80 in Louisiana. The resolution highlights the highway's role as an early transcontinental route that boosted commerce, tourism, and cultural development in communities like Shreveport and Ruston. It specifically notes the road's connection to the Louisiana Hayride and its designation as a scenic byway with preserved roadside architecture. This bill does not change any laws or policies; instead, it serves to celebrate the approaching 100th anniversary of the highway's original designation in 1926.
