Lousiana Bill urges appointment of Council on Marriage

Item from the Smart Marriages Archive, reproduced in the Divorce Statistics Collectio n

Louisiana bill HCR 22, sponsored by Representative Sharon Broome, and
others, passed the 2000 Legislature. It urges the Governor to appoint a
Council on Marriage to monitor, develop, and evaluate policy, programs,
curricula, publicity, and delivery of services to families to assure that
government does not undermine or discourage the institution of marriage.
The resolution encourages and fosters the laudable and important efforts
of nonprofit charitable organizations and religious denominations to
strengthen and preserve marriages. Many thanks to Rep. Broome for her
leadership and to Professor Katherine Spaht for her assistance in
promoting this important initiative.
