What the document says
“The President shall establish a Commission on the medal of sacrifice for law enforcement officers and first responders (hereinafter known as the "Commission").”
Subsection (c)(1) directs the President to establish the Commission and gives it the short name used through the rest of the section. The section does not place the Commission inside any department, and sets no deadline for establishing it.
What the document actually says
“The President shall establish a Commission on the medal of sacrifice for law enforcement officers and first responders (hereinafter known as the "Commission").”
That sentence, in plain words
The President must set up a group for this medal. The law calls it the Commission.
What this is about
The law does not put the group inside any part of the government. It also does not say by what date the group must exist.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
