On May 28, 2026, President signed H.R. 3497, the Medal of Sacrifice Act of 2025, into law. The act creates a Medal of Sacrifice to recognize certain eligible law‑enforcement officers and first responders who are killed while performing their duties. The new medal will honor those who die in the line of duty, providing a formal national acknowledgment of their sacrifice. The legislation is part of a series of bills the administration has signed, including H.R. 3377, H.R. 7194, and H.R. 7211. The White House notes that the Medal of Sacrifice will be awarded to individuals who meet the criteria set forth in the act.
