Fighting Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Act of 2025
Current understanding
The Fighting PTSD Act of 2025 directs the DOJ Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) to prepare and submit a report on proposed programs providing treatment and preventative mental health care for public safety officers and 911 telecommunicators experiencing job-related PTSD or acute stress disorder. The report is required to include draft legislative language and cost estimates, but the bill itself does not stand up or fund a program — it is a policy-development mandate. Status: introduced.
