Subcommittee Hearings Held
This bill amends Public Law 115–275 to extend the statutory authorization period for the National Emergency Medical Services Memorial Foundation to establish a commemorative work in the District of Columbia and its environs. Specifically, references to a seven-year expiration are replaced with an expiration (or extension) date of November 3, 2032.
All support honoring EMS, but disagree on federal role and precedent.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a narrowly focused, procedural statutory amendment to extend an existing authorization date for a commemorative work.

Likely supportive of honoring emergency responders, but cautious about federal involvement and precedent.
