Show full summary
- Public safety officers and public safety telecommunicators: The bill would direct the Attorney General, through the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, to propose at least one program to provide evidence-based trauma-informed care, peer support, counseling, and family supports for job-related post-traumatic stress disorder or acute stress disorder.
- State, Tribal, territorial, and local agencies: The required report must explain how proposed programs could be run efficiently across states, tribes, territories, and localities and must consider both in-person care and telehealth options.
- Justice Department and Congress: Within 150 days the Attorney General must submit a report with draft grant confidentiality conditions, draft legislative language, and an estimate of the annual appropriations needed to administer each proposed program. The Attorney General must consult relevant stakeholders, including agencies that employ public safety personnel and organizations that support officers and families.

Defines covered public safety workers for PTSD
If enacted, the bill would spell out who counts as a “public safety officer” and would include Tribal officers. It would also define “public safety telecommunicator” as 911 and emergency center staff who answer calls, take incident details, and coordinate responders. These definitions would guide DOJ planning for PTSD and acute stress care for these workers, including trauma‑informed treatment, peer support, counseling, and family supports. Within 150 days of enactment, the Attorney General would report proposed programs and confidentiality protections to Congress. The report would also cover nationwide delivery, including telehealth, needed bill text, and yearly cost estimates. This would not start benefits by itself.
