House Bill No. by Representative Walters proposes to officially designate Shreveport as the "Stuffed Shrimp Capital of Louisiana." This designation is intended to recognize the city's cultural and culinary significance related to this popular dish. The bill enacts a new section, R.S. 49:170.26, which specifically states that Shreveport holds this title.
The bill does not include any deletions from existing law but introduces new legal language to formalize the designation. By adding this section, the legislation aims to promote Shreveport's identity and potentially boost tourism and local pride associated with its culinary heritage.
