Providing that the law enforcement officers memorial advisory committee may receive requests from a Kansas law enforcement agency for the Kansas highway patrol and the Kansas bureau of investigation to provide temporary personal and other assistance in support of funeral services honoring law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty in the service of the state.

HB 2616 allows Kansas law enforcement agencies to request temporary support from the Kansas Highway Patrol (KHP) and Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) for funeral services honoring officers who died in the line of duty. The law enforcement officers memorial advisory committee will receive these requests and coordinate the temporary assignment of KHP or KBI personnel and resources. This provision specifically applies to funeral services for officers who lost their lives while serving the state. The bill amends existing law to formalize this coordination process without creating new funding or permanent staffing.
