Bill overview
This bill aims to ensure that the next of kin of a Massachusetts State Police officer who dies in the line of duty receives a flag during the officer’s memorial service. Currently, the provision for this honor may not be consistently applied. The legislation seeks to standardize this practice, providing a respectful and recognized symbol of remembrance for the families of fallen officers. It builds upon previous attempts to establish this tradition.
