The resolution honors Jefferson County Deputy Sheriff Lieutenant Mike House for receiving the 2024 Alabama Legislative Meritorious Service Award for Law Enforcement. This recognition is in light of his extraordinary act of donating a kidney to Corporal Jerry Karrh, a fellow law enforcement officer from Vestavia, whom he had never met before. The donation took place on December 6, 2023, after Lt. House learned of Corporal Karrh's urgent need for a kidney through a social media post shared by Karrh's daughter.

Lt. House had previously felt a calling to donate a kidney and had been waiting for the right opportunity. His decision to undergo surgery and provide a kidney to save Corporal Karrh's life exemplifies selflessness and compassion, making it a significant act deserving of recognition. The resolution expresses the Alabama House of Representatives' gratitude, admiration, and esteem for Lt. House's remarkable contribution to the community and law enforcement.
