This bill enacts a new section in Louisiana law, specifically R.S. 49:170.23, which designates the Vietnam Veterans Memorial located at Veterans Memorial Park in Lake Charles as the "Louisiana Vietnam Veterans Memorial." This formal recognition aims to honor the contributions and sacrifices of Vietnam veterans in the state.

The bill will take effect upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, as outlined in the Louisiana Constitution. If the governor vetoes the bill but it is later approved by the legislature, it will become effective the day after that approval.
