What this bill would do
This bill, known as the Supporting Accurate Views of Emergency Services Act of 2025'' or the 911 SAVES Act,'' directs the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to update the Standard Occupational Classification System. The legislation requires the Director to categorize public safety telecommunicators as a protective service occupation. This action must be completed within 30 days of the Act's enactment. The bill aims to correct what it describes as an inaccurate representation of these professionals. By doing so, it seeks to recognize the lifesaving work and the critical role these workers play in emergency responses.
Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
-
Correcting occupational classification: The bill seeks to classify public safety telecommunicators as a protective service occupation rather than their current classification (Section 2, Finding 14; Section 3). This is intended to correct an inaccurate representation of the work performed by these professionals.
-
Recognition of lifesaving work: By changing the classification, the bill aims to recognize the critical role and lifesaving work performed by public safety telecommunicators (Section 2, Finding 14). This includes their role in responding to missing or abducted children, negotiating with hostage takers or suicidal persons, and coaching callers through first aid during active shooter incidents (Section 2, Findings 3, 4, and 5).
-
Alignment with related systems: The new classification is intended to better align the Standard Occupational Classification system with other related classification systems (Section 2, Finding 14).
Potential Negative Impacts for People
- No negative impacts identified: The provided text does not list any specific provisions that would result in negative consequences or burdens for individuals or groups of people.
