Reclassify 911 dispatchers as protective service occupations to improve their federal benefits and mental health support.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with 911 SAVES Act?
The 911 SAVES Act, known as H.R. 637, has remained in the House Committee on Education and Workforce since January 21, 2025. The committee members must choose to hold a hearing or a vote to move the bill forward, but most bills fail to receive a committee vote at all. This lack of action is the primary reason the proposal has not advanced since the previous session expired on September 18, 2024.
