Bill > S4007

This bill, the Fighting Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Act of 2022, requires the Attorney General to propose a program to make state-of-the-art treatment and preventative care available to public safety officers and public safety telecommunicators for job-related post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and acute stress disorder. The proposed program would provide access to evidence-based, trauma-informed care, peer support, counselor services, and family supports to help treat or prevent PTSD and acute stress disorder among these essential workers. The bill also requires the Attorney General to consult with relevant stakeholders, including federal, state, tribal, and local agencies, as well as non-governmental organizations, to develop the proposed program and estimate the necessary annual appropriations.
