## Summary

**Reclassifies Public Safety Telecommunicators as a Protective Service Occupation in the federal Standard Occupational Classification.** The bill would require the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to reclassify Public Safety Telecommunicators in the Standard Occupational Classification within 30 days of enactment, reflecting findings that these workers handle missing or exploited children cases, hostage and suicidal calls, active-shooter incidents, coordinate with police, fire, and emergency medical services, and face trauma, and the reclassification aims to align federal job statistics with their duties.
