Louisiana’s America 250 State Commission is part of a national initiative to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States’ independence, which will occur on July 4, 2026. Chalmette Representative Mike Bayham says Louisiana has a unique place in the national narrative…
“We want to use this opportunity to discuss this and bring up things that generally haven’t been widely discussed in terms of historic events that happened in our state that helped moved the national needle.”
Bayham says to accomplish this the Louisiana America 250 Commission will host events, educational programs, and public engagements that reflect the state’s unique history and contributions to the nation.
“There’s no shortage of areas for us to focus on and this is important, Louisiana is a state where cultural tourism is a big component of our economy.”
The commission unveiled the new standardized Louisiana license plate with the America 250 Commission.
And this has the Louisiana State America 250 Commission logo which has a picture of the outline of the state and eighteen stars. The 18 stars represent Louisiana’s place as the 18th state in the union.”
The Louisiana America 250 Commission standardized license plate will be available starting January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2026.
