Summary — SCR 57 (Concurrent Resolution)

Title: Condolences — Expresses the sincere and heartfelt condolences of the Louisiana State Legislature upon the passing of Steven J. Miguez

Purpose / Intent

SCR 57 is a ceremonial (concurrent) resolution whose primary purpose is to formally express the sincere and heartfelt condolences of the Louisiana State Legislature on the death of Steven J. Miguez. Such resolutions recognize an individual's life or public service and communicate the legislature’s sympathy to surviving family, friends, and community.

Key provisions

  • Official expression of condolences and sympathy from both chambers of the Louisiana Legislature.
  • Likely directs that a copy of the resolution be transmitted to the family or designated recipients (common practice for condolence resolutions).
    Note: The authenticated text of the resolution was not included among the documents provided, so specific paragraph language, any recitation of accomplishments, or named designees for transmittal could not be confirmed.

Who is affected

  • Primary: The family, friends, and community of Steven J. Miguez, who are the intended recipients of the legislature’s formal sympathy.
  • Secondary: The resolution is symbolic and has no regulatory or fiscal effect on state agencies, private parties, or public programs.

Legal and procedural character / Timeline

  • Classification: Concurrent resolution — a non‑binding, ceremonial measure adopted by both legislative chambers.
  • Introduced: April 2, 2025.
  • Final procedural status: Sent to the Secretary of State by the Secretary of the Senate on May 30, 2025 (indicating completion of legislative action and formal filing).
  • Fiscal impact: None expected (ceremonial resolutions do not create expenditures or statutory obligations).

Notes and caveat

  • The packet of documents supplied with your request contains multiple unrelated SCR 57 texts from other states and subject matters (e.g., a Dolores Huerta Day proclamation, a proposed national reinsurance program, and recognitions such as World Wish Day). Those texts do not correspond to the Louisiana condolences resolution described in the bill header.
  • For a more detailed summary (e.g., exact language used to describe Steven J. Miguez’s life, list of accomplishments, and named recipients of copies), please supply the resolution’s full text or allow me to retrieve the official enrolled resolution.
