What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Filling Public Safety Vacancies Act," provides emergency supplemental appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025. It allocates $162,000,000 for grants intended for the hiring and rehiring of additional career law enforcement officers. The funds are to be drawn from amounts in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated and will remain available until expended. Law enforcement agencies using these funds must conduct background checks and psychological evaluations on officers. These costs can be covered by the appropriated funds or other agency funds. The bill designates these amounts as an emergency requirement.
