Bill
SCR 31
Concurrent resolution asks the Louisiana Supreme Court to require all licensed attorneys to complete a one-hour course on the legislative process as part of annual CLE.
Note on source materials and scope
- The bill information you provided (SCR 31 — a Louisiana concurrent resolution requesting the Louisiana Supreme Court to require a one‑hour course on the legislative process as part of annual continuing legal education for attorneys) does not match the attached document texts. The documents you supplied contain texts and legislative actions for other states’ SCR 31 measures (notably California’s SCR 31 commemorating California Poetry Out Loud and a Hawaii SCR 31 draft concerning U.S.–Taiwan relations). Below I (1) summarize the requested Louisiana measure based on its title and status you supplied, and (2) summarize the actual documents attached so you have an accurate account of the materials provided.
Purpose and intent
- To ask the Supreme Court of Louisiana to require attorneys licensed in Louisiana to complete a one‑hour course on the legislative process as part of their annual mandatory continuing legal education (CLE) requirement.
Key provisions (as implied by the title)
- A concurrent resolution (nonbinding) requesting action by the Louisiana Supreme Court.
- The requested action: incorporate a one‑hour course on the legislative process into the annual CLE requirement for attorneys.
Who would be affected
- All attorneys licensed in Louisiana subject to the State’s annual CLE rules.
- The Louisiana Supreme Court and organizations that administer CLE (e.g., the Louisiana State Bar Association) if the Court implements the request.
Procedural/timeline status
- You reported the bill’s status as “Involuntarily deferred in committee,” which means the measure was not moved forward by the committee and is effectively stalled unless later resurrected.
Limitations
- No text of the Louisiana resolution was provided, so specific language, implementation detail, or enforcement mechanisms cannot be confirmed here.
Final action: Adopted and chaptered (Res. Chapter 42, Statutes of 2025).
Hawaii SCR 31 (SD1 and other versions appearing in the materials)
Purpose: A concurrent resolution endorsing U.S.–Taiwan trade/relations priorities and supporting Taiwan’s meaningful participation (as observer) in international organizations including UNFCCC, ICAO, WHO, and INTERPOL; encourages U.S. Trade Representative to negotiate a bilateral trade agreement with Taiwan; commemorates Hawaii–Taiwan sister‑state relations.
Key points: Notes US–Taiwan Initiative on 21st Century Trade and Taiwan’s contributions/cooperation (e.g., $500,000 after 2023 Maui wildfires); requests transmission of certified copies to federal officials and state executive officials.
Procedural notes: Multiple committee referrals and amendments (SD1). Committee actions recorded; some versions indicate adoption steps in Hawaii Legislature workflow.
If you want a focused, authoritative summary of the Louisiana SCR 31 (the CLE/legislative‑process request), please provide the actual text or a link to the resolution. I can then produce a detailed, clause‑by‑clause summary and assess potential impacts (administrative, compliance, and fiscal) more precisely.
