Providing that the law enforcement officers memorial advisory committee may receive requests 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.

SB 445 allows the Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Advisory Committee to formally request temporary staff and support from the Kansas Highway Patrol and Kansas Bureau of Investigation for funeral services honoring officers who died in the line of duty. It directly affects law enforcement agencies organizing these funerals by enabling them to access temporary personnel assistance without requiring new permanent staff or funding. The bill amends existing law to establish this process, ensuring agencies can quickly secure needed support during memorial services.
