Honors and commends President Pro Tempore Del Marsh for his decades of dedicated service to the Alabama Senate and State of Alabama.

Recognizes Marsh's service representing Alabama's 12th Senate District (Calhoun and Talladega Counties) for six terms, with his tenure as President Pro Tempore beginning in 2010.

Credits Marsh with reducing his own office budget by 65 percent (approximately $100,000 per month in personnel costs) during his first term as President Pro Tempore while increasing government efficiency.

Acknowledges Marsh's legislative work attracting international companies to Alabama, creating educational opportunities, and serving as presiding officer during two Senate sessions while awaiting a new Lieutenant Governor.

Notes Marsh rejected typical Presidential perquisites such as a state vehicle, driver, and security escort while embracing additional responsibilities.
