House Resolution No. by Representative Mike Johnson commends the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry (LABI) on its fiftieth anniversary. Established on September 4, 1975, LABI was formed through the consolidation of the Louisiana State Chamber of Commerce, the Louisiana Manufacturers Association, and the Louisiana Political Council. The organization aims to promote a vibrant business climate in Louisiana by advocating for free enterprise, economic growth, and sound public policy. LABI represents over two thousand employers across the state, working to create a competitive tax structure, a robust workforce development system, and a favorable labor environment that encourages job creation.

The resolution highlights LABI's commitment to ethical principles, teamwork, and high-quality initiatives, as well as its role as Louisiana's official state partner to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers. Over the past fifty years, LABI has been instrumental in lobbying for policies that enhance the state's business environment, earning national recognition for its efforts. The House of Representatives expresses its enduring appreciation for LABI's contributions to Louisiana's economic growth and its dedication to improving the lives of its citizens.
