CT HB05363

Establishes the "law enforcement officer memorial account" as a separate, nonlapsing account within the General Fund to provide grants to families of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.

The account may receive state appropriations, legally required deposits, and gifts, grants, donations, or bequests, with investment earnings retained in the account.

The State Treasurer administers the account; the Commissioner of Emergency Services and Public Protection expends funds and may establish a grant application process.

Administrative costs for the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection are capped at 2% of annual deposits.

Beginning January 1, 2025, the Commissioner must submit annual reports to legislative committees on grant applications received, grants awarded, amounts distributed, and recommendations for the program.
