Who this affects: This bill mainly affects the National Fraternal Order of Police, its auxiliary, law enforcement groups taking part in the events, and families or colleagues of officers who died in the line of duty in 2025. It also affects members of the public who may attend and Capitol officials who must manage access, safety, equipment, and conduct on the grounds.
Why this matters: The bill matters because it opens the Capitol Grounds for two specific public law enforcement events. That space has strict rules, so the events need special approval from Congress.
