Full text of Louisiana Louisiana Civil Code § RS 25:671 — Legislative findings, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ RS 25:671. Legislative findings
The legislature finds that:
(1) The heritage of the French-speaking people of Louisiana is one of the greatest treasures of Louisiana's rich cultural patrimony and perhaps the most significant factor in making the state's culture unique.
(2) Louisiana has a quarter of a million French-speaking citizens and a million residents of French-language heritage, and French-speaking visitors to Louisiana spend roughly one hundred million dollars annually in the state.
(3) Commercial and industrial concerns based in France have made investments of one billion eight hundred million dollars in the state and further encouragement of such investment is in the interests of the state.
(4) Providing state government services in the French language would encourage the preservation of the state's French cultural heritage for future generations, would provide important and sometimes life-sustaining services to French-speaking citizens and visitors, and would support and encourage French investment in Louisiana, and therefore, would serve not only the state's French-speaking citizens but the entire state.
Acts 2011, No. 106, §1.
