Creates a new federal medal to honor fallen law enforcement and first responders.
This bill would create a special federal medal, called the "Medal of Sacrifice," to honor law enforcement officers and first responders who die while on duty. It would also set up a new Commission to decide who gets the medal and how it looks. This means families of fallen heroes would have a new way to see their loved one's service recognized by the nation.
Today, there is no specific federal "Medal of Sacrifice" for law enforcement officers and first responders killed in the line of duty. If this bill becomes law, the President would issue such a medal, and a new Commission would be created to manage its details and decide who receives it.
