What does this do?
This bill extends the deadline for the National Emergency Medical Services Memorial Foundation to build a memorial in Washington, D.C. honoring EMS workers. Congress had already authorized the memorial, but a standard seven-year completion rule was about to expire. The bill sets a new deadline of November 3, 2032.
Who does it affect?
The bill directly affects the National Emergency Medical Services Memorial Foundation, which handles fundraising and planning. It indirectly affects EMS workers and their families, who the memorial honors.
Why does it matter?
The bill keeps the foundation's existing legal authority active so its plans don't expire before construction finishes. It does not create the memorial itself or directly spend taxpayer money.
