Law

Congress would allow the Fraternal Order of Police and its auxiliary to hold a public memorial on the Capitol Grounds to honor officers who died in the line of duty in 2025.
The memorial is set for May 15, 2026 (with setup starting May 7 and takedown finished by May 17), unless House and Senate leaders pick a different date.
A separate Honor Guard and pipe band exhibition would be allowed on the Capitol Grounds on May 14, 2026, unless leaders choose another date.
The events must be free and open to the public, and they must be planned so they don’t disrupt Congress’s work.
The sponsors must pay all costs and take responsibility for any problems, while Capitol officials and Capitol Police enforce rules like limits on selling and soliciting on the grounds.
