Overview: SB 6305, "Establishing a law enforcement memorial names committee", was introduced on January 25, 2024 and is currently in the State Government & Elections committee.
Purpose and Intent: The bill aims to create a dedicated committee to oversee the naming and maintenance of a law enforcement memorial. The goal is to ensure a consistent and respectful process for honoring law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
Key Provisions:
- Establishes the Law Enforcement Memorial Names Committee, composed of representatives from law enforcement agencies, the state legislature, and the general public
- Grants the committee the authority to approve the addition of names to the law enforcement memorial
- Requires the committee to develop and maintain guidelines for the memorial, including eligibility criteria and naming protocols
- Directs the committee to oversee the physical maintenance and upkeep of the memorial
Affected Parties and Impacts: The bill would directly impact law enforcement agencies, the families of fallen officers, and the general public who visit the law enforcement memorial. The committee's work would help ensure the memorial remains a meaningful and well-maintained tribute.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill is currently in the State Government & Elections committee and must pass through the legislative process before becoming law. If enacted, the committee would be established and begin its work shortly thereafter.
