Rep. Rogers, Mike | Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
H.R. 2711 would authorize the Department of Justice (DOJ) to pay for the moving, transportation, and relocation expenses attributable to a change of residence within the U.S. of the immediate family of a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) employee who dies in the performance of official duties. The bill will also extend benefits to cover the expenses of preparing and transporting the remains of the deceased to the place where the family will reside following the employee’s death (or another appropriate place for interment).
An amendment will likely be made on the floor to expand the bill to all federal law enforcement officers and change the name to the “Special Agent Samuel Hicks Families of Fallen Heroes Act.”
