Establishes a Medal of Sacrifice for law enforcement officers and first responders killed in the line of duty.
The Medal of Sacrifice Act mandates the President to issue a medal honoring law enforcement officers and first responders killed in the line of duty. The President must establish a Commission to oversee the medal's design, presentation, and eligibility criteria. The Commission will investigate cases where an officer or responder is found to have acted outside their duties. The medal is awarded to specific fallen officers and responders, and the Commission will cease operations once its responsibilities are fulfilled.
