A resolution honoring the life of the Honorable John Bennett Johnston, Jr., former Senator for the State of Louisiana.

S.Res. 159 is a non-binding Senate resolution that would honor the life and legacy of John Bennett Johnston, Jr., a former United States Senator from Louisiana. This type of resolution does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. Instead, it serves as a formal congressional tribute recognizing Johnston's contributions to the Senate and his service to the state of Louisiana.

As a non-binding resolution, this bill would have no direct practical impact on citizens or federal policy. Its purpose is purely ceremonial, allowing the Senate to formally acknowledge and pay respect to a former member. The resolution was introduced by Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) on April 7, 2025, and remains in the early stages of the legislative process.
