STATEHOUSE (Feb. 27, 2018) — A bill sponsored by State Sen. Aaron Freeman (R-Indianapolis) to create an injured public safety hero monument study committee recently passed the Senate by a vote of 48 to 0.
House Bill 1193 would urge the Legislative Council to assign to or create an interim study committee to study the construction of an injured public safety hero monument.
“Many public safety heroes killed in the line of duty are memorialized, but we do not have monuments or tributes for those who are severely or catastrophically injured in the line of duty,” Freeman said. “This bill would be an appropriate way to honor our injured safety heroes.”
HB 1193 recently passed the House of Representatives unanimously.
