Regarding names to be included on the Washington state law enforcement memorial.

HB 2000 requires Washington's law enforcement memorial to include names of state officers deemed to have died "in the line of duty" under the federal Hometown Heroes Survivors Benefits Act of 2003 (as certified by the U.S. Department of Justice). It applies retroactively to officers who died on or after January 1, 2020, and mandates that once certified, their names be added to the memorial during the next scheduled wall update. This bill directly affects Washington law enforcement officers who qualify under the federal standard, ensuring their names are recognized on the state memorial. The change is procedural, focusing on administrative inclusion rather than altering benefits or policies.
