Senate Resolution No. by Senator Reese commends the Louisiana Automobile Dealers Association (LADA) for its significant contributions to the automotive industry and its ongoing legacy of service to the state and its communities. The resolution highlights the vital role that Louisiana's franchised new car and heavy truck dealers play in the state's economy, including job creation, economic investment, and community development. It notes that these dealers employ over 40,000 citizens, support additional jobs in related industries, and generate substantial tax revenue while also contributing millions to charitable organizations.

In recognition of their leadership and commitment to excellence, the resolution designates Tuesday, April 14, 2026, as Louisiana Automobile Dealer Day at the Louisiana State Capitol. This day will serve to honor the next generation of dealers who continue to uphold the values of fair pricing, customer satisfaction, and community support, as well as the LADA's efforts since 1937 to advocate for the interests of automobile dealers across the state.
