S 825 Passed Senate — in House

Sponsored by Chuck Grassley (R)

Fighting Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Act of 2025

Requires DOJ to report on mental health programs for police, firefighters, and 911 dispatchers.

Tradeoff

Mandates a study of mental health care options for public safety workers experiencing job-related trauma. No immediate funding or program launch — only a report with cost estimates and draft legislation.

What's in it

See official bill text

Costs less than $500,000 over 2026-2031 to implement Department of Justice reporting requirements.

The $500,000 is the federal cost for the Department of Justice to develop and report proposals for PTSD programs — the actual benefit to public safety officers depends on whether Congress later funds to implement those programs.
