Status snapshot
- Bill number: H.R. 362
- Classification: House resolution (commendation) — ceremonial/non‑binding
- Introduced: January 13, 2025
- Status: Adopted by the House, enrolled and signed by the Speaker (12 June 2025), and presented to the Secretary of State (13 June 2025).
- Sponsors (as listed in the record): Stacey E. Plaskett; Billy Mitchell; Lawrence "Larry" Walsh, Jr.; Mike Johnson.
Purpose and intent
- The principal, stated purpose (per the bill header) is to commend the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry (LABI) on the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary. As a commendatory resolution, the intent is ceremonial: to recognize and honor the organization’s milestone and contributions.
Key provisions and what the resolution would do
- The resolution is a recognition/commendation only. Typical provisions in such resolutions (and implied here) include:
- Formally congratulating LABI on 50 years of service.
- Recognizing the organization’s contributions to business and industry in Louisiana.
- Directing that copies of the resolution be provided to the organization’s leadership as an expression of the legislature’s esteem.
- No regulatory, tax, or appropriations language is included — the resolution does not create duties, change law, or authorize spending.
Who is affected
- Directly affected: Louisiana Association of Business and Industry (honoree) and its leadership/members (ceremonial recognition).
- Indirectly: constituents, business community, and stakeholders whose work or reputation the resolution highlights.
- No legal or fiscal impact on state agencies, taxpayers, or regulated entities is expected.
Procedural/timeline details and final disposition
- Introduced 13 Jan 2025; referred to House Committee on the Judiciary (per record).
- Placed on Congratulatory & Memorial Resolutions calendar and laid before the House in early March 2025.
- Adopted by the House (March 6, 2025 entries).
- Enrolled and signed by the Speaker (12 June 2025); taken by Clerk and presented to the Secretary of State (13 June 2025).
- Because this is a resolution of recognition, no gubernatorial signature or enactment into law is required in the usual sense — presentation to the Secretary of State reflects final processing per chamber rules.
Important note about the legislative record provided
- The supplied document text appears to aggregate multiple distinct “H.R. 362” resolutions from different jurisdictions and topics (examples included in the record):
- A resolution congratulating the Hoover Country Club women’s tennis team (Alabama) on a 2025 USTA championship.
- A resolution recognizing February 20, 2025, as “Girls Empowerment Day” and recognizing Trinity Girls Network (Georgia).
- A resolution congratulating Mickey Whitesell as the 2025 National Direct Support Professional of the Year (Illinois).
- This summary focuses on the header/title you provided (commendation for LABI’s 50th anniversary). The mixed contents in the file indicate clerical aggregation of multiple separate ceremonial resolutions; those other texts are unrelated to the LABI commendation and reflect separate, non‑binding recognitions.
Bottom line
- H.R. 362, as titled, is a ceremonial House resolution commending the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry on its 50th anniversary. It is symbolic and carries no regulatory or fiscal consequences. The legislative record provided, however, contains multiple unrelated commendatory resolutions compiled together; readers should consult the official enrolled resolution filed with the Secretary of State for the final, authoritative text concerning LABI.
