Trooper Joshua Wasden, commended

This bill honors Alabama State Trooper Joshua Wasden by officially recognizing him as a recipient of the 2026 Alabama Legislative Meritorious Service Award for Law Enforcement. The resolution commends Wasden for his actions on August 26, 2025, when he provided critical emergency assistance to a motorist suffering from atrial fibrillation by administering manual ventilation and supporting medical responders. The bill serves as a formal commendation rather than creating new laws or policies, and it does not affect any specific groups or change existing regulations.
