Standard Summary

Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

The Reauthorizing Support and Treatment for Officers in Crisis Act of 2025 (S. 419) would extend the authorized period for federal grants that fund programs to support law enforcement officers and their families, including efforts related to officers in crisis. Specifically, it amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to replace the current authorization window of 2020–2024 with a new window of 2025–2029. The bill does not introduce new program specifics or funding levels in the text provided; it simply continues the existing grant authority through 2029. The measure was introduced in February 2025, reported from the Senate Judiciary Committee without amendment in May 2025, and appears to have bipartisan sponsorship.
