The bill amends K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 75-2251 to enhance the functions of the Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Advisory Committee. It allows the committee to receive requests from law enforcement agencies for temporary personnel and other assistance to support funeral services for officers who have died in the line of duty. The bill outlines the composition of the committee, which includes representatives from various law enforcement associations and state officials, and establishes procedures for appointing members. Additionally, the committee is tasked with advising on matters related to the memorial for law enforcement officers at the state capitol and may solicit funds for the memorial.

Furthermore, the bill repeals the existing section of K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 75-2251, indicating a complete overhaul of the previous law. The new provisions aim to strengthen the support provided to law enforcement agencies during times of loss and ensure that the contributions of fallen officers are appropriately memorialized. The act will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
