House Concurrent Resolution No. by Representative Beaullieu designates May 19, 2025, as CODOFIL Day at the Louisiana state capitol. The resolution highlights the significance of the Council for the Development of French in Louisiana (CODOFIL), established in 1968, which plays a crucial role in promoting the state's francophone culture, heritage, and language. It emphasizes the importance of Louisiana's French and Creole culture in enhancing the state's brand and its economic development, supported by a strong bilingual educational system and international partnerships with regions such as France, Belgium, and Canada.

The resolution also notes Louisiana's unique position as the first U.S. state to join the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie, which connects French-speaking countries worldwide. By recognizing CODOFIL Day, the legislature commends CODOFIL for its contributions to Louisiana's cultural vibrancy and economic growth, reinforcing the state's commitment to preserving and promoting its francophone identity.
