Bill > SR152

This resolution commends John A. Polk, a Republican state senator representing Mississippi's District 44 in Lamar County, for his distinguished service and retirement from the State Senate. The resolution highlights Polk's extensive background, noting he was born in Columbia, Mississippi in 1949, graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1974, and worked as an executive in his family's meat business. Throughout his Senate tenure since 2012, Polk served on numerous important committees, including Business and Financial Institutions (which he chaired), Appropriations, Education, and Public Health and Welfare. The resolution recognizes his significant contributions, including proposing a bill to repeal annual vehicle inspections and receiving the Mississippi Meritorious Civilian Service Medal in 2025 for outstanding support of the Mississippi National Guard. The Senate formally acknowledges Polk's leadership, commitment, sound judgment, and service to his constituents, and extends best wishes to him and his family upon his retirement. The resolution will be presented to Senator Polk and made available to the Capitol Press Corps.
