Main purpose

HCR 28 is a non‑binding, symbolic concurrent resolution that officially designates April 30, 2025, as “Anti‑Hunger Day” in Louisiana. Its intent is to raise public awareness about food insecurity, recognize efforts to reduce hunger, and encourage communities and institutions to conduct related outreach and support activities on that day.

Key provisions (typical for this type of resolution)

Officially designates April 30, 2025, as “Anti‑Hunger Day” in Louisiana.

Encourages state agencies, local governments, public schools, colleges, faith‑based groups, businesses, and nonprofits to observe the day with events such as food drives, volunteer activities, public education, fundraisers, and outreach to people experiencing food insecurity.

Recognizes and commends organizations, volunteers, and programs working to reduce hunger in the state.

Contains no binding regulatory requirements, appropriations, or changes to statutory law.

Who is affected / impacted

Primarily symbolic: Louisiana residents, community groups, food banks, pantries, anti‑hunger organizations, volunteers, and public institutions are invited to participate.

No private‑law or fiscal impacts on individuals or agencies beyond voluntary participation; the resolution does not create programs or funding.

Procedural / timeline highlights

Filed/introduced: November 14, 2024.

Moved through committee and both chambers during early 2025 (records show readings, committee referrals, and adoption votes in March–April 2025).

Enrolled and signed by presiding officers in early May 2025 and presented to the Secretary of State (May 9, 2025).

Primary sponsor: William Bush; numerous coauthors listed (e.g., Timothy O’Brien, Renee Pack, Cherrish Pryor, et al.).

Practical effect

HCR 28 serves to focus public attention on hunger issues on a single designated day and to encourage voluntary community responses. It does not itself authorize spending or create new programs. For implementation details (if any public events or agency actions are requested), consult the Legislature’s enrolled resolution text or state agency guidance issued in connection with the day.
