HCR 52 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

SPECIAL DAY/WEEK/MONTH: Designates April 14, 2026, as AKA Day at the state capitol

This bill designates Tuesday, April 14, 2026, as AKA Day at the Louisiana State Capitol to honor the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. The resolution formally recognizes the sorority's history as the first Greek-letter organization founded by African American college women and acknowledges its members' long-standing community service. It also invites sorority members to meet with legislators on that day to discuss issues relevant to their communities. The measure does not change laws or policies but serves as a ceremonial tribute to the organization's contributions.

MINOR

The bill was converted from its original draft to the enrolled version, which is the final, legally binding text signed by the Governor. The substantive policy content remains identical: it designates April 14, 2026, as AKA Day and commends the sorority. The only changes are the addition of official signatures from the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate, and the removal of the legislative digest.

TECHNICAL

Added signatures for the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President of the Senate to finalize the bill as an enrolled law.

Removed the legislative digest and original header information, which are informational and not part of the final legal text.
