Summary — H.R. 231 (resolution)
Overview / Main purpose
According to the bill title, H.R. 231 is a ceremonial resolution that commends the American Therapy Association — Louisiana Chapter for outstanding achievements and designates May 29, 2025, as “Physical Therapy Day” at the state capitol. As such, its primary intent is honorary and celebratory: to recognize the professional contributions of the Louisiana chapter of the American Therapy Association and to set aside a named day for observance at the capitol.
Key provisions and changes

- Typical implementing language for resolutions of this type (not explicitly provided) would direct the Clerk to prepare and provide an appropriate copy of the resolution to the honored organization; no regulatory or funding changes are expected.

Important note about the provided document
The supplied “Version Content” appears to contain text excerpts from other, unrelated house resolutions (including an Illinois House memorial resolution for Mildred Austin Kenerson and a Georgia resolution recognizing REALTOR® Day). Those excerpts do not match the title of H.R. 231 (Physical Therapy Day — Louisiana). Sponsors and action dates listed in the materials also include names and items from multiple jurisdictions. Because of these inconsistencies:
- The authoritative, final enrolled text specifically declaring May 29, 2025 as Physical Therapy Day and commending the American Therapy Association — Louisiana Chapter should be obtained from the official legislative record (enrolled resolution or the clerk’s office) to confirm exact wording and any additional clauses.
- If you need citation-quality language (for outreach, press, or legal reference), request the enrolled/resolution text or the Secretary of State filing copy.
Related legislation
- A companion bill/sister measure is listed as S 154 (no further detail provided).
If you want, I can: (1) draft a suggested reading or press release text based on the title and standard resolution language; or (2) locate and summarize the enrolled resolution text if you provide access to the official legislative database or confirm which jurisdiction’s H.R. 231 is intended.
