HR 245 Louisiana House · 2025 Regular Session

COMMENDATIONS: Commends SIAMS on its commitment to uplifting and empowering women

This resolution (HR 245) formally commends SIAMS (Surely, I Am My Sister), a New Orleans nonprofit, for its work empowering women through education, business, and leadership programs. It specifically highlights their "Bridges to Brilliance" mentorship program supporting young women aged 17-25 and their upcoming Annual Retreat and Advancing Ceremony, where participants engage with state government. As a ceremonial resolution, it does not create new policies or affect funding - it solely expresses the Louisiana House’s appreciation for SIAMS’ civic-minded efforts.

MINOR

The bill was converted from a House Resolution (HR) to an Enrolled version, which is the final, official form required for passage. The substantive policy content, including the commendation of the SIAMS organization and the specific details of their mentorship program, remained unchanged. The primary differences are formatting adjustments and the removal of internal legislative service notes and digest summaries.

TECHNICAL

Removed the original House Resolution header and House Legislative Services digest, which are procedural documents not part of the final law.

Added the 'ENROLLED' status and Speaker of the House signature block, indicating the bill has passed both chambers and is ready for the Governor.

Adjusted line numbers and page layout to match the enrolled bill format, while keeping the resolution text identical.
