A resolution commending Southeastern Louisiana University on the occasion of its Centennial and its years of service to the State of Louisiana and the United States.
Submitted in the Senate, considered, and agreed to without amendment and with a preamble by Unanimous Consent. (consideration: CR S2831; text: CR S2842)
This resolution is the Senate formally congratulating and recognizing Southeastern Louisiana University on its 100th anniversary and years of service. It lists the university's history, academic strengths, athletics, and notable alumni, and asks the Secretary of the Senate to send an enrolled copy to university officials. It is a non-binding statement by the Senate and does not create law or legal obligations.
This is a simple Senate resolution adopted by the Senate alone; it does not become law, does not require the President's signature, and does not bind the federal government.
This Senate resolution commends Southeastern Louisiana University on its 100th anniversary, recounts key historical milestones, recognizes its academic and community contributions, and requests transmission of an enrolled copy to university leaders.
It is a nonbinding, ceremonial statement without statutory changes or funding provisions.
This is a nonlegislative, commemorative Senate resolution that does not create law; passage within the originating chamber is likely but it does not become statute.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a straightforward and well-constructed commemorative Senate resolution. It clearly states its purpose, provides historical context, and specifies the administrative action of transmitting enrolled copies to named university officials.
