Maddy summaryThis is a ceremonial resolution (not a substantive bill) honoring Captain Matthew T. Brown's retirement from the Cobb County Police Department after over 30 years of service.

The resolution expresses the House of Representatives' appreciation for his dedication, leadership, awards (including a Medal of Valor), and commitment to public safety in Cobb County. It does not create new laws, policies, or funding; it is purely a formal expression of gratitude.
