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

SB 5743 requires Washington's law enforcement memorial to include names of state officers ruled as dying in the line of duty under the federal Hometown Heroes Survivors Benefits Act of 2003 (as determined by the U.S. Department of Justice). It applies retroactively to include officers who died since January 1, 2020, and mandates adding their names at the next memorial wall update following the federal determination. This bill directly affects eligible officers' families and the memorial's official record, ensuring their service is recognized without requiring new state-level reviews. The policy change is procedural, focusing on automatic inclusion based on existing federal rulings.
