The bill enacts new provisions under R.S. 17:1681(G) and 1681.2 to establish scholarship programs for police officers injured in the line of duty and for the spouses of police officers who are killed or disabled while performing their duties. It defines a "spouse" as the dependent partner of a police officer or deputy sheriff, either living with them or having been dependent on them at the time of their death or permanent disability. The scholarships will cover tuition, fees, and room and board for eligible spouses and injured police officers attending college or university, provided they maintain a "C" average and comply with institutional regulations.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that both spouses and injured police officers are entitled to a cash grant of $250 per semester for books, with a limit of ten semesters for each individual under the scholarship provisions. The funding for these scholarships will come from the general fund of the state of Louisiana. The act will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for bills to become law without signature, as outlined in the Louisiana Constitution.
