To provide compensation to law enforcement officers who defended the United States Capitol during the events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, and for other purposes.

This legislation authorizes the federal government to provide financial compensation to law enforcement officers who were injured or faced significant hardship while defending the U.S. Capitol during the January 6, 2021, attack. By establishing a dedicated fund, the bill ensures these officers receive support for medical expenses and related costs incurred due to their service that day. For Arlington residents, this move reflects a national acknowledgment of the sacrifice made by federal and local law enforcement personnel tasked with maintaining security in the National Capital Region. The likely effect is a formalization of federal benefits for these responders, providing much-needed financial stability and recognition to those who risked their lives to protect the democratic process and the safety of the Capitol grounds.
