This bill, titled the "National Law Enforcement Officers Remembrance, Support, and Community Outreach Act," authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to provide significant federal funding to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. This funding is specifically designated for the National Law Enforcement Museum to bolster its critical programs. For the first seven fiscal years following enactment, an annual appropriation of $6,000,000 is authorized to support the museum's operations and program enhancements. The authorized funds will be used for various initiatives, including memorializing fallen officers, compiling statistics on fatalities and injuries, and honoring the extraordinary service of law enforcement officers. Key provisions include developing and disseminating accurate educational resources, expanding technical resources for public engagement, and creating scholarly work through research and exhibitions. The bill also mandates that the museum provide free admission for active and retired law enforcement officers and families of fallen officers, along with dedicated free admission hours for the general public at least once a week. To ensure accountability, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund must submit annual progress reports and financial accounting to the Secretary of the Interior, which will then be publicly shared with Congress.
