This bill introduces a new section to chapter 79.24 RCW, which mandates that Washington state law enforcement officers who are ruled to have died in the line of duty under the Hometown Heroes Survivors Benefits Act of 2003 will be included on the Washington state law enforcement memorial. The inclusion of these officers' names is retroactive for five years, covering those who died in the line of duty on or after January 1, 2020.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that once a determination is made by the United States Department of Justice regarding an officer's eligibility under the Hometown Heroes Survivors Benefits Act, their name will be added to the memorial during the next scheduled wall update. This ensures that the sacrifices of these officers are formally recognized and honored in a timely manner.
