Bill Summary
A BILL To require the Attorney General to propose a program for making treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder and acute stress disorder available to public safety officers, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Attorney General to propose a program that would make state-of-the-art treatments and preventative care available to public safety officers and public safety telecommunicators (e.g., police, firefighters, EMTs, 911 dispatchers) for job-related post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and acute stress disorder. The bill notes that public safety officers are at a higher risk of developing these conditions compared to the general population, and that they often lack access to the necessary mental health resources. The Attorney General is directed to submit a report to Congress within 150 days outlining the proposed program, including details on administering it nationwide, draft legislative language, and an estimate of the required annual funding.
