Decoded
What does this do?
S 419 extends the authorization of an existing federal grant program for law enforcement mental health support through 2029. The program was set to expire after 2024. It does not create a new program or alter the structure of the existing one.
Who does it affect?
The bill affects law enforcement agencies across the country that use these grants to fund mental health services. Officers and their families who rely on counseling, crisis intervention, and suicide and burnout prevention programs are also directly affected.
Why does it matter?
Without reauthorization, the grant program would have expired after 2024, ending a funding pathway agencies have used for mental health services. Any actual funding still requires separate approval through the regular federal budget process.
What does it cost, and who pays?
- Covers counseling and crisis services
- Families of officers also eligible
- Final amounts set by separate budget vote
Where does it stand?
- Introduced
- Senate committee
- Senate vote — You are here
- House
