Creates a fund to pay law enforcement officers injured or killed defending the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
This bill would create a special fund to pay law enforcement officers who were injured or died while defending the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. It would set up a process for officers or their families to claim money for their losses. All officers who served that day would also get an additional payment.
Today, there is no specific federal program to compensate law enforcement officers for losses from their service on January 6, 2021. This bill would create a new program to provide payments for economic and non-economic losses, including death, to eligible officers or their families. It would also provide an additional payment to all active duty law enforcement officers who served that day, with death claims receiving at least $4,975,000.
