The resolution calls upon the Capitol Grounds Planning Commission to begin the planning and development of a memorial dedicated to honoring both volunteer and career Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel who have lost their lives while serving the state of North Dakota. It acknowledges the significant risks faced by EMS workers, who provide critical care to citizens, and recognizes the profound impact that line of duty deaths have on families and communities. The resolution emphasizes the importance of establishing a memorial on the Capitol grounds as a lasting tribute to these individuals who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

Furthermore, the resolution urges the Capitol Grounds Planning Commission to collaborate with relevant organizations, such as the Emergency Medical Services Division of the Department of Health and Human Services and the North Dakota Emergency Medical Services Association, to ensure that the memorial accurately reflects the sacrifices of EMS personnel. It also encourages the Commission to explore various funding sources, including public and private donations and grants, to support the design, construction, and maintenance of the memorial. Copies of the resolution will be forwarded to the members of the Capitol Grounds Planning Commission and the Director of the North Dakota Office of Management and Budget.
