Bill Summary

A bill to require the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to review and make certain revisions to the Standard Occupational Classification System, and for other purposes. This bill requires the Office of Management and Budget, by 30 days after the bill's enactment, to categorize public safety telecommunicators as a protective service occupation under the Standard Occupational Classification System.

AI Summary

This bill, the 911 SAVES Act or Supporting Accurate Views of Emergency Services Act of 2019, requires the Office of Management and Budget to categorize public safety telecommunicators (also known as 911 operators) as a protective service occupation under the Standard Occupational Classification System within 30 days of the bill's enactment. This reclassification would recognize the critical lifesaving role that these professionals play in emergency response, including their work in responding to missing/abducted children, hostage situations, active shooter incidents, and other high-stress scenarios. The bill cites the significant emotional and physical impacts of the job on public safety telecommunicators, and notes that the current classification does not accurately reflect the nature of their work.
