Medal of Sacrifice Act

Summary

The law directs the President to establish a Medal of Sacrifice for any local, state, tribal, territorial or federal law‑enforcement officer or first responder killed in the line of duty, except those found to have acted improperly. A twelve‑member unpaid commission will be appointed to design the medal, advise on eligibility criteria, and make final eligibility decisions when wrongdoing is alleged. The act also names three deputies as the first recipients and provides for the commission to dissolve once its duties are completed.
