The bill requires the Attorney General to develop a program that would make treatment for these disorders more readily available to public safety officers.

By ensuring that these officers have access to the necessary treatment and support, the bill aims to improve their overall mental health and quality of life. In addition to addressing the mental health needs of public safety officers, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to supporting and protecting these individuals. Overall, Bill 119 s 825 seeks to prioritize the mental health and well-being of public safety officers and ensure that they have the resources and support they need to cope with the challenges they face in their line of work.
