The House Concurrent Resolution No. by Representative Bayham establishes the America 250 Louisiana State Commission, which will collaborate with the federal America250 commission to plan and coordinate the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States on July 4, 2026. This initiative is part of a broader effort initiated by the America250 commission, created by the Semiquincentennial Commission Act of 2016, to engage and educate Americans about the nation's history and democratic values during a commemorative period from 2020 to 2027. The resolution emphasizes the importance of state and local participation in the celebrations, which will include various programs such as public art displays, museum exhibitions, and educational curricula.

The commission will consist of members appointed by various state officials and organizations, including the governor, lieutenant governor, and representatives from cultural and educational institutions. It will advise the lieutenant governor on its activities and will be supported by state staff. Funding for the commission will come from donations as well as state and federal funds, and it is set to be dissolved on July 4, 2027, after the completion of the anniversary celebrations.
