Summary

House Resolution 190, sponsored by Representatives Cox and Ortego, aims to commend Chanda Rubin, an international professional tennis star, on her induction into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame. The resolution highlights Rubin's achievements throughout her tennis career, including her significant contributions to the sport and her status as one of Louisiana's prominent athletes. Her induction marks a milestone for the state as the Hall of Fame has recently established a more permanent home to honor outstanding sports figures.
