Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
This resolution is a House-only expression that honors and remembers law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty, naming 345 individuals and recognizing Peace Officers Memorial Day. It does not create law or change government policy and serves as a formal statement of the House's recognition, condolences, and support. It is not presented to the President and is not legally binding.
This House resolution honors and memorializes the 345 law enforcement officers identified as killed in the line of duty, reaffirms support for police at Federal, State, local, and Tribal levels, and expresses condolences to their families.
It recalls the statutory observance of Peace Officers Memorial Day and National Police Week and recognizes the need for officer equipment, training, and resources.
The resolution is nonbinding and purely declarative, offering symbolic recognition and expressions of appreciation.
Text is a nonbinding House resolution meant as a tribute, not a statute; adoption by the House likely, conversion into law effectively unlikely.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a well-constructed commemorative resolution: it clearly articulates its purpose, cites relevant existing law for context, and lists the individuals being memorialized. It makes declaratory statements of support and condolence rather than creating obligations or authorizing programs.
