H.R. 2196, the National Emergency Medical Services Memorial Extension Act, was signed by the President on September 11, 2026.
H.R. 2196 — National Emergency Medical Services Memorial Extension Act
What it does
This bill extends the deadline for the National Emergency Medical Services Memorial Foundation to build a commemorative memorial in Washington, D.C. The foundation was originally given seven years from an earlier law (Public Law 115–275) to complete the project; this bill resets that clock to seven years from the date this new law is enacted, effectively giving the foundation additional time to secure funding and complete construction.
