Purpose and Summary

Supporting Accurate Views of Emergency Services Act of 2025 or the 911 SAVES Act

This bill requires the Office of Management and Budget to categorize public safety telecommunicators as a protective service occupation under the Standard Occupational Classification system no later than 30 days after the enactment of this bill. (The Standard Occupational Classification system is a federal statistical standard used by federal agencies to classify workers into occupational categories for the purpose of collecting, calculating, or disseminating data.)

Bill 119 HR 637, also known as the "Standard Occupational Classification System Modernization Act," aims to require the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to review and make revisions to the Standard Occupational Classification System (SOC). The SOC is a system used to classify and categorize different occupations in the United States.

The bill seeks to modernize the SOC to better reflect the current job market and workforce trends. This includes updating job titles, descriptions, and classifications to accurately represent the evolving nature of work in various industries. By doing so, the bill aims to provide more accurate and up-to-date information for policymakers, researchers, and the public to better understand the labor market.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to consult with relevant stakeholders, such as government agencies, industry experts, and labor organizations, in the process of reviewing and revising the SOC. This collaborative approach is intended to ensure that the updated classification system is comprehensive, accurate, and reflective of the diverse range of occupations in the US. Overall, Bill 119 HR 637 seeks to improve the Standard Occupational Classification System to better serve the needs of the American workforce and provide more reliable data for decision-making at both the federal and state levels.
