Bottom line
This Act grants an extension to the National Emergency Medical Services Memorial Foundation, providing more time to establish a memorial in the District of Columbia.
What it actually does
This bill extends the legislative authority for the National Emergency Medical Services Memorial Foundation to establish a commemorative work in the District of Columbia. It achieves this by amending existing law (Public Law 115-275) to reset the seven-year period for the authority's expiration or extension, linking it to the enactment date of this new Act, H.R. 2196.
Section 2
Extension of Legislative Authority for Memorial Establishment
This section amends Public Law 115-275, which originally granted legislative authority to the National Emergency Medical Services Memorial Foundation to establish a commemorative work. Specifically, it modifies the timeframe within which this memorial must be established. The original law referenced a seven-year period for the authority's expiration or extension. This amendment changes that reference point, stating that the seven-year period will now be calculated from the date of enactment of *this* new Act, the 'National Emergency Medical Services Memorial Extension Act.' This effectively provides the Foundation with a fresh seven-year window from the enactment of H.R. 2196 to complete the establishment of the memorial, extending their previous deadline.
