What the document says

“The Commission shall-- (A) advise the Commission on the design of the medal of sacrifice for law enforcement officers and first responders; (B) promote the establishment of the medal of sacrifice for law enforcement officers and first responders; (C) determine how the medal of sacrifice for law enforcement officers and first responders shall be presented; (D) make any final determination necessary pursuant to subsection (b)(2)(B); and (E) advise the President regarding criteria for assessing eligibility pursuant to subsection (b).”

To establish a medal of service for law enforcement officers and first responders, Sec. 2

Subsection (c)(5) lists five duties: advising on the design, promoting the establishment of the medal, determining how it is presented, making the final determinations required by subsection (b)(2)(B), and advising the President on criteria for eligibility. The first duty is printed as advising the Commission, which is the body given the duty. The list also fixes when the Commission ends, because subsection (c)(7) turns on its completion.

What the document actually says

“The Commission shall-- (A) advise the Commission on the design of the medal of sacrifice for law enforcement officers and first responders; (B) promote the establishment of the medal of sacrifice for law enforcement officers and first responders; (C) determine how the medal of sacrifice for law enforcement officers and first responders shall be presented; (D) make any final determination necessary pursuant to subsection (b)(2)(B); and (E) advise the President regarding criteria for assessing eligibility pursuant to subsection (b).”

That sentence, in plain words

The group has five jobs. It helps with the look of the medal. It tells people about the medal. It decides how the medal is handed over. It makes the final calls named above. It gives the President advice on who should get one.

What this is about

The first job is printed as advising the Commission. That is the same group being given the job. The site quotes the law as printed. This list also matters for the end of the group.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check 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.
