The DOJ would report back with these program ideas, including the costs and legal language needed to actually start them.
How it affects you
If you're a police officer, firefighter, or public safety telecommunicator, this could eventually lead to new mental health resources for you. For most other people, this bill is mainly about exploring what those programs might look like—it doesn't directly change anything yet.
