This bill gives the National Emergency Medical Services Memorial Foundation more time to move forward with a memorial in the Washington, D.C. area. It changes an earlier law so that the group’s authority to plan and establish the memorial will now last for seven years from the date this new law is signed, instead of using the old deadline. In simple terms, it extends the group’s deadline so the memorial project can continue.
- The change updates an earlier law to reset the 7-year time limit from the date of this new law.
- The extension applies to the foundation’s work on a commemorative memorial in the District of Columbia and nearby areas.
