House would encourage communities to support families of fallen first responders.
This House resolution would encourage local communities across the U.S. to support nonprofits. These groups help families of fallen police officers, firefighters, and other first responders. The resolution also asks these "Gold Shield Families" to use available resources during their time of grief. This bill does not create new laws or funding; it expresses the House's view on this issue.
Today, nonprofits help Gold Shield Families, and communities may or may not actively support these efforts. After this resolution, the House of Representatives would formally state its view that local communities should support nonprofits that help Gold Shield Families. It would also state that these families should use the resources available to them. This is a formal statement of sentiment, not a change in law or funding.
