Bill overview

This bill establishes a medal of sacrifice to honor law enforcement officers and first responders who die in the line of duty. It creates a commission to advise on the medal’s design and presentation, with a process to investigate officers subject to wrongdoing before determining eligibility. The commission will initially honor three specific officers and will eventually cease to exist once its responsibilities are fulfilled.
