Placed on the Union Calendar, Calendar No. 443.
This bill gives the National Emergency Medical Services Memorial Foundation an extra 7 years to build a memorial in or near Washington, D.C., honoring emergency medical workers. Congress originally approved this memorial in 2018, but the group has not finished building it within the original deadline. If this passes, the foundation gets more time to complete the project.
Emergency medical workers , paramedics, EMTs, and others who respond to 911 calls , still don't have a dedicated memorial in the nation's capital. Without this deadline extension, the project loses its congressional permission entirely, and supporters would have to start the approval process from scratch.
