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.
