Summary
What This Bill Does
This Senate Resolution (S.Res. 543) commends Centenary College of Louisiana on the occasion of its 200th anniversary (bicentennial). It recognizes the college's longstanding contributions to higher education in Louisiana and the Northwest Louisiana community, and requests that the Secretary of the Senate transmit a copy of the resolution to the college president, provost, and bicentennial planning committee.
Who Benefits and How
Centenary College of Louisiana receives official recognition and a symbolic commendation from the United States Senate for its two centuries of service to higher education. The college's administration, faculty, staff, and alumni receive a formal acknowledgment of their institution's historical significance. This provides reputational benefit and commemorative value but no direct financial or regulatory impact.
Who Bears the Burden and How
No individuals, groups, or organizations bear any burden from this resolution. As a purely ceremonial measure, it creates no mandates, requirements, costs, or restrictions on any party. The only administrative task is for the Secretary of the Senate to transmit enrolled copies of the resolution.
