S. 825 would require the Department of Justice to provide the Congress with proposals for programs to provide public safety officers and public safety telecommunicators (such as 911 operators) with preventative care or treatment for job-related post-traumatic stress disorder or acute stress disorder.
Using information about the costs of similar requirements, CBO estimates that implementing S. 825 would cost less than $500,000 over the 2026-2031 period. Any related spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
The CBO staff contact for this estimate is David Rafferty. The estimate was reviewed by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Director of Budget Analysis.
