Bill > S1934

This bill establishes the Massachusetts Law Enforcement Memorial Fund as a dedicated financial account within the state's accounting system. The fund will be used to provide annual payments to the Massachusetts Law Enforcement Memorial, specifically to honor and memorialize law enforcement personnel who have been killed while performing their duties. The fund will be financially supported by revenues generated from the sale of special registration plates (likely a specific type of license plate), as outlined in section 2G of chapter 90 of Massachusetts General Laws. The fund will be managed by a department of public safety and can be used without requiring additional legislative appropriation, which means the money can be spent directly from the fund for its designated memorial purpose. By creating this dedicated funding mechanism, the bill ensures a consistent and sustainable method of supporting and recognizing the sacrifices of law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
