Bill Summary · SCR 18

Summary — SCR 18 (Concurrent Resolution)

Designation: Main Street Day at the Louisiana State Capitol
Introduced: February 21, 2025
Status: Sent to the Secretary of State by the Secretary of the Senate (final processing)
Classification: Concurrent resolution (ceremonial)

Purpose and intent

SCR 18 designates Tuesday, May 6, 2025, as "Main Street Day" at the Louisiana State Capitol. The resolution is a ceremonial recognition intended to honor and highlight Main Street programs, small businesses, historic downtown revitalization efforts, and related community economic-development activities.

Key provisions

  • Officially proclaims May 6, 2025, as Main Street Day at the Louisiana State Capitol.
  • Typically urges citizens, public officials, and communities to recognize and support Main Street businesses and downtown revitalization efforts (standard language in such resolutions).
  • Directs transmission of copies of the resolution to relevant parties (customary for concurrent resolutions), although the specific recipients are not listed in the information provided.

Who is affected

  • No legal or regulatory obligations are created. This measure primarily:
    • Symbolically recognizes downtown/main-street businesses, local chambers of commerce, preservation organizations, and volunteers involved in revitalization.
    • Encourages public awareness and participation in Main Street events held at the Capitol or elsewhere on that day.
  • State agencies and the legislature may coordinate or host observances; local businesses and civic groups may use the designation for promotional or awareness activities.

Procedural and timeline notes

  • As a concurrent resolution, SCR 18 is nonbinding and does not create new law, appropriations, or regulatory requirements.
  • Introduced Feb 21, 2025; final recorded status indicates the resolution was sent to the Secretary of State by the Secretary of the Senate (indicating final enrollment/processing).
  • Because concurrent resolutions express the legislature’s sentiment rather than statutory law, there is no governor’s signature requirement in many jurisdictions; the provided status shows completion of the legislative process for this resolution.
