Your MoneyTargeted & Unrelated ProvisionsTransparency & Accountability$6 million a year for seven years would fund a law enforcement museum's programs — in exchange for free public hours.
Your Money
The National Law Enforcement Museum would have to set aside free admission hours for anyone, at least once a week. Officers and the families of fallen officers would get in free at any time.
Targeted & Unrelated Provisions
The bill names one recipient, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. There is no open contest for the money. The Interior Secretary would award it $6 million each year for seven years, if Congress provides the funds.
Transparency & Accountability
To keep the grant, the Fund would have to allow a yearly federal audit of its finances. That covers ticket sales, donations, other grants, and what it spends on salaries and running costs. The audit would be made public.
The grants would cover the first budget year after the bill becomes law, plus the six years after that. Congress would have to pass a new law to keep the money going.
More about this bill
Most people would see no change in daily life. The one exception is a museum visit. The National Law Enforcement Museum would have to set aside free hours for the public at least once a week. Active and retired police officers would get in free at any time. So would family members of officers who died on duty. The rest is a spending plan. The Interior Department would give $6 million a year to one named group. That group is the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. The grants would run for seven years. They would pay for public education, outreach, and officer safety programs. The bill adds no new money, so it must come from funds Congress already approves. In return, the group would face a yearly federal audit. The results would be public.
