Patrick "Pete" Johnson; commend the life and legacy of former MS State Auditor.
This is a commemorative resolution (HC 38), not a policy bill. It expresses the Mississippi legislature's deep respect for Patrick "Pete" Johnson, former State Auditor (1988-1992), and extends sympathy to his family following his death. The resolution highlights his career as Mississippi's first Republican statewide officeholder since Reconstruction, his anti-corruption work as Auditor, and his bipartisan leadership with the Delta Regional Authority. It does not create any new laws or affect any policies.
