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

The Commission ends when its duties are done
The document says “shall”Who acts: PresidentHow: statuteSec. 2 in the PDF
What the document says
“The Commission shall cease to exist on the date on which the President determines that the Commission has completed each responsibility under paragraph (5).”
Subsection (c)(7) ends the Commission on the date the President determines it has completed every duty listed in subsection (c)(5). The end date is set by that determination, not by a date in the statute.
What the document actually says
“The Commission shall cease to exist on the date on which the President determines that the Commission has completed each responsibility under paragraph (5).”
That sentence, in plain words
The group stops when the President says its jobs are all done.
What this is about
There is no end date in the law. The end turns on a call by the President. The jobs are the five listed above.
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, 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.
