Justice for Fallen Law Enforcement Act

This bill increases penalties for crimes against law enforcement officers. It adds a minimum 20-year prison sentence for serious injury to any federal, state, or local officer when the attack involves a weapon crossing state lines or uses interstate commerce. It also creates a new provision requiring life sentences for murder of officers under similar interstate circumstances. The bill directly affects officers (federal, state, local) and those who attack them, with the government required to report on prosecutions within three years of enactment.
