The Joint Interim Study Commission on PTSD in Law Enforcement Officers, created

HJR 273 creates the Joint Interim Study Commission on PTSD in First Responders. This commission is tasked with studying how state, county, and municipal governments can more effectively use available funding to provide services for first responders who develop post-traumatic stress disorder from traumatic events experienced during their duties. The commission's membership includes representatives from state agencies, local government associations, and legislative leaders. It will gather input from various first responder associations and must submit a report of its findings and recommendations by early 2026.
