Would establish a Massachusetts Law Enforcement Memorial Fund to be used to make annual payments to the Massachusetts Law Enforcement Memorial which memorializes and honors Massachusetts law enforcement personnel killed in the line of duty.

“Dedicated in 2004, the Massachusetts Law Enforcement Memorial in Ashburton Park commemorates the sacrifices of more than 400 Massachusetts law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty,” said sponsor Rep. Tom Walsh (D-Peabody). “[This bill] provides for the production and sale of specialty license plates with the proceeds directed towards the Massachusetts Law Enforcement Memorial Fund, supporting the stewardship and upkeep of the memorial, similar to the funding mechanism providing for the maintenance of the Firefighters Memorial across the park.”
