The House Concurrent Resolution No. by Representative Beaullieu designates May 19, 2025, as CODOFIL Day at the Louisiana state capitol. This resolution recognizes the Council for the Development of French in Louisiana (CODOFIL), which was established in 1968 to promote the state's francophone culture, heritage, and language. CODOFIL plays a crucial role in enhancing Louisiana's brand through its unique French and Creole culture, and it emphasizes the importance of a strong bilingual educational system and international partnerships for the state's economic growth.

The resolution highlights Louisiana's distinction as the first U.S. state to join the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie, which connects French-speaking countries worldwide. CODOFIL's ongoing efforts to foster international relationships contribute significantly to the state's economic development. The legislature commends CODOFIL for its contributions to Louisiana's culture and economy, marking the designated day as an opportunity to celebrate and acknowledge these efforts.
