Note on source material: the document content supplied with this request contains text from multiple, unrelated resolutions (including honors for an Illinois park commissioner and a Savannah State University alumni chapter) and a mixed list of sponsors that appear inconsistent with the Louisiana designation in the title. This summary focuses on the stated purpose in the bill title and the procedural history provided; you should verify the official legislative record for final authoritative text and sponsor information.
Purpose and intent
- To formally designate June 2, 2025, as "Communication Health Awareness: Speech‑Language Pathologist and Audiologist Day" in the state of Louisiana.
- The intent is to recognize the role of speech‑language pathologists and audiologists in promoting communication health, to raise public awareness about communication disorders and services, and to encourage observances and educational activities on that date.
Key provisions and effects
- Official designation of a single day (June 2, 2025) for statewide recognition and awareness activities.
- No regulatory, tax, or budgetary authority is created or altered; the resolution is ceremonial and advisory in nature.
- Does not establish new programs, funding, or mandates for state agencies.
Who is affected
- Speech‑language pathologists (SLPs) and audiologists practicing in Louisiana — professional recognition and public awareness may benefit the professions.
- Patients, families, educators, healthcare providers, and advocacy organizations focused on communication disorders may use the day for outreach, screenings, events, and educational campaigns.
- State and local governments or community organizations may choose to observe the day but are not required to do so.
Procedural / timeline notes
- According to the supplied legislative actions, the resolution was introduced January 9, 2025, read and adopted in the House (April–June 2025 sequence), enrolled and signed by the Speaker June 3, 2025, and presented to the Secretary of State June 4, 2025.
- Because the measure is a resolution designating a commemorative day, final administrative steps typically involve clerical filing rather than implementation actions.
Recommendation
- For authoritative text, sponsor list, and final status, consult the official Louisiana legislative record or the Secretary of State’s filing for H.R. 269 (or the relevant state house resolution number) due to inconsistencies in the supplied document.
