Bill Summary
AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY TO ESTABLISH A GRANT PROGRAM TO TREAT POLICE OFFICERS WHO HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (PTSD).
AI Summary
This bill appropriates $500,000 in non-recurring funds from the General Fund to the Department of Public Safety for the 2025-2026 fiscal year to create a grant program specifically designed to provide treatment for police officers diagnosed with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a terrifying event, which can be particularly prevalent among law enforcement professionals due to the high-stress and potentially traumatic nature of their work. The bill aims to support police officers by providing financial resources to help them access mental health treatment, acknowledging the psychological challenges they may face in their line of duty. The funding will become available on July 1, 2025, and is intended to establish a dedicated grant program to address the mental health needs of police officers suffering from PTSD.
