THE COMMITTEE ON

INVITATIONS AND MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS

To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H.3878) to request the Department of Transportation name the intersection located at the junction of South Carolina Highway 171 and Carriage Lane in Charleston County “Deputy Sheriff Joseph J. Matuskovic Memorial Intersection”, etc., respectfully

JIMMY C. BALES for Committee.

ACONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE INTERSECTION LOCATED AT THE JUNCTION OF SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 171 AND CARRIAGE LANE IN CHARLESTON COUNTY “DEPUTY SHERIFF JOSEPH J. MATUSKOVIC MEMORIAL INTERSECTION” AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THIS LOCATION CONTAINING THIS DESIGNATION.

Whereas, Charleston County Sheriff Deputy Joseph J. Matuskovic was born in Bronx, New York, on April 21, 1971, and tragically lost his life in the line of duty on September 8, 2014; and

Whereas, he was the son of Gregory and Annette Cappararo Matuskovic; and

Whereas, Deputy Sheriff Matuskovic received a master’s degree in criminal justice from the University of South Carolina in 1996. He graduated from the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy as a Distinguished Graduate in Basic Law Enforcement Class 347; and

Whereas, he began his career in law enforcement with the City of Charleston Police Department where he attained the rank of sergeant. In 2011, he joined the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office, serving, in aggregate, for more than seventeen years as a distinguished law enforcement officer; and

Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to preserve the memory of Deputy Sheriff Joseph J. Matuskovic by having an intersection in Charleston County named in his honor. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That members of the General Assembly request the Department of Transportation name the intersection located at the junction of South Carolina Highway 171 and Carriage Lane in Charleston County “Deputy Sheriff Joseph J. Matuskovic Memorial Intersection” and erect appropriate markers or signs at this location containing this designation.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
