AI Summary
This bill establishes "Cajun Night Before Christmas" by J.B. Kling, Jr. (with illustrations by James Rice) as Louisiana's official state children's Christmas book. The legislation adds a new section to the Louisiana Revised Statutes (R.S. 49:170.25) to formally recognize this specific book as a state symbol. By designating an official state children's Christmas book, the bill appears to celebrate Louisiana's cultural heritage and highlight a local literary work that represents the state's unique Cajun traditions during the holiday season.
