Honoring Civil Servants Killed in the Line of Duty Act

# Summary of HR 3317: Honoring Civil Servants Killed in the Line of Duty Act **What the Bill Does:** This bill, sponsored by Representative Gerald Connolly (D-VA), would establish a way to formally honor and commemorate federal civil servants—government employees who work in non-military roles—who have died while performing their duties. Based on its title, the bill appears designed to create a recognition or memorial process for these individuals, though specific details about the exact mechanism (such as whether it establishes a monument, annual observance, or registry) are not available in the basic bill information. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects federal employees in civilian government roles and their families. It may also impact federal agencies responsible for maintaining any commemoration established by the law.

The broader public would be affected to the extent the bill creates a public memorial or observance. **Current Status:** As of now, HR 3317 is in committee, meaning it has been referred to the appropriate congressional committee for review and discussion but has not yet been brought to a full vote in the House of Representatives. This is an early stage in the legislative process.
