S 1955 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to funding of the Massachusetts State House police memorial

This bill creates a new fund called the Massachusetts Law Enforcement Memorial Fund to support a memorial for police officers killed in the line of duty. The fund will be automatically financed by a portion of the revenue generated from the sale of vehicle registration plates, meaning no additional taxpayer appropriation is required. These collected funds will be used to make annual payments to the memorial, ensuring it can continue to honor fallen law enforcement personnel. The measure directly affects the Commonwealth's financial records and the ongoing maintenance of the memorial site.
