SB 245 Louisiana Senate · 2024 Regular Session

PARKS: Provides for the location of the Louisiana Vietnam Veterans Memorial. (gov sig)

This bill officially designates the existing Vietnam Veterans Memorial at Veterans Memorial Park in Lake Charles as the state's Louisiana Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The primary change is adding a new section to the state code to formally recognize this specific location with that official title. The legislation does not alter the physical memorial or its funding, but rather establishes its legal status as the designated memorial for the state.
