Impact

The passage of SB 85 would result in a formal designation of a state building, thus contributing to the state's tradition of recognizing individuals who have made notable contributions within their respective fields. By naming this facility after Coach Breaux, the bill not only acknowledges her impact on the sport but also serves to inspire future athletes and students at LSU. Although the bill does not directly alter state law regarding other aspects of government or regulation, it does add another layer of recognition for contributions to education and athletics within the state.

Summary

Senate Bill 85, introduced by Senator Luneau, is a legislative proposal aimed at naming the gymnastics training facility at Louisiana State University in honor of Coach D-D Breaux. This bill specifically designates the building, located on the campus of LSU in Baton Rouge, to be officially known as the Coach D-D Breaux Gymnastics Training Facility. The recognition is intended to honor Coach Breaux's significant contributions to NCAA gymnastics and her legacy within the LSU community.

Sentiment

The sentiment surrounding SB 85 is largely positive, as it reflects a consensus on the importance of honoring impactful individuals in the community. The discussions around the bill highlight a shared appreciation for Coach Breaux's legacy and her role in elevating LSU gymnastics. This type of recognition is generally celebrated within the state and amongst campus stakeholders, suggesting that the bill is likely to garner broad support.

Contention

Given the nature of the bill, there do not appear to be significant points of contention. The bill is straightforward in its intent and lacks any complicated provisions or controversial implications such as funding changes or regulatory adjustments. However, some may debate the priorities of naming state buildings in light of broader concerns regarding funding for facilities or sports programs, but any such discussions seem to be minimal given the focused nature of SB 85.
