The bill requires the Attorney General, through the COPS Office, to deliver within 150 days a report proposing one or more DOJ-administered programs to make evidence-based PTSD and acute stress disorder treatment available to public safety officers and telecommunicators. The report must include draft grant confidentiality conditions, administration plans across Federal, State, Tribal, territorial, and local levels (including telehealth), draft legislative language to authorize programs, stakeholder consultation, and annual appropriation estimates.
