INTERNATIONAL COMMERCE: Establishes the Louisiana-Ireland Commission.

This bill creates the Louisiana-Ireland Trade Commission to strengthen economic and cultural ties between the two regions. The commission will be made up of members appointed by the Senate, House of Representatives, and Governor, including representatives from Irish-American communities and universities. Its main tasks are to promote trade, investment, and business exchanges, while also addressing shared policy issues and infrastructure projects. The group must hold its first meeting by October 2024 and submit a written report with recommendations to the governor and legislature by March 2025. Additionally, the bill designates March of each year as Irish-American Heritage Month to honor the state's Irish heritage.
