Establishes "Salute to Service and Sacrifice Memorial Commission."
This bill establishes a 13-member "Salute to Service and Sacrifice Memorial Commission" to design and oversee a memorial honoring New Jersey law enforcement officers, firefighters, and emergency medical services personnel who died in the line of duty. The commission, appointed by the Governor with representation from relevant unions, family members of fallen personnel, and memorial design experts, must select a location and design featuring three walls (one for each service) displaying names of fallen personnel, with space for future additions. It will establish a permanent fund for the memorial's construction and maintenance, financed through donations and appropriations, and must submit a final report within 18 months. The bill directly affects fallen first responders' families and the public through the memorial's creation.
