Bill Summary · SCR 28

Summary — SCR 28 (2025): Louisiana Water Safety Awareness Month / Louisiana Water Safety Awareness Day

Status: Sent to the Secretary of State by the Secretary of the Senate
Introduced: February 24, 2025
Type: Concurrent resolution

Purpose / Intent

SCR 28 declares a formal, symbolic recognition by the Louisiana Legislature to raise public awareness about water safety. The resolution recognizes May as “Water Safety Awareness Month” in Louisiana, designates May 14 as “Louisiana Water Safety Awareness Day,” and commends Mazie’s Mission and its founders, Heather and Adam Broussard, for their statewide work promoting water-safety education.

Key provisions

  • Recognizes the month of May 2025 (and, by implication, future Mays) as Water Safety Awareness Month in Louisiana.
  • Designates May 14 as Louisiana Water Safety Awareness Day.
  • Formally commends Mazie’s Mission and founders Heather and Adam Broussard for efforts to promote water-safety education across the state.

Note: The text provided with the request contained multiple unrelated SCR28 documents from other states and topics; the summary above is based on the bill information you supplied at the top (Louisiana Water Safety recognition). For exact legislative language, consult the official enrolled resolution filed with the Secretary of State.

Who is affected / potential impact

  • Primary effect is symbolic and awareness-focused: residents, families, schools, community groups, and local governments are encouraged to observe the month/day and promote water-safety practices.
  • Organizations involved in drowning prevention, swim education, water-safety training, and public health may see increased visibility and opportunities for outreach, partnerships, or events.
  • The resolution does not create regulatory or funding mandates and therefore does not directly change programs, budgets, or legal requirements.

Procedural / timing notes

  • As a concurrent resolution, this measure expresses the sentiment of both legislative chambers; it does not create law or appropriate funds.
  • Introduced February 24, 2025; final procedural status reported as “Sent to the Secretary of State by the Secretary of the Senate” (May 14, 2025), indicating completion of legislative action and formal filing.
  • Because the attached documents included materials from other jurisdictions (California, Delaware, Hawaii), confirm the official Louisiana enrolled text for any citation or formal use.

If you’d like, I can:
- Retrieve or review the official enrolled text filed with the Louisiana Secretary of State, or
- Draft suggested language that could appear in outreach materials for Water Safety Awareness Month or Day based on the resolution’s intent.
