Extends authority for National Emergency Medical Services Memorial Foundation to build a memorial in Washington, D.C.
The problem
The National Emergency Medical Services Memorial Foundation needs extended legal authority to construct a commemorative work honoring emergency medical services personnel in the District of Columbia area.
The proposal
This bill extends the legislative authority granted to the National Emergency Medical Services Memorial Foundation, allowing them to establish and construct a commemorative work dedicated to EMS workers in Washington, D.C. and surrounding areas.
The impact
The EMS community and their families gain recognition through a memorial. Visitors and the public will have a place to honor emergency medical services workers. The foundation can proceed with construction plans.
Creates a permanent memorial to recognize the sacrifices and service of emergency medical services personnel. This provides public acknowledgment of their vital role in the community.
Extension of authority removes legal barriers and provides the foundation with clear permission to proceed with memorial construction. This streamlines the process.
The memorial is built and managed by a private foundation, not funded by federal taxes. Government provides only the legislative authorization, not financial burden.
A dedicated memorial in Washington, D.C. serves as a teaching tool about the importance of emergency medical services. It increases public awareness and appreciation.
The bill does not specify exact location or design details. Concerns may arise about appropriate placement and land use in the D.C. area.
The bill extends authority but provides limited detail on scope, budget oversight, or construction timeline. More transparency might be beneficial.
Washington, D.C. has limited space for memorials. This could compete with other groups seeking similar commemorative projects.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
