Relative to critical incident stress management teams.

This bill aims to establish critical incident stress management (CISM) teams to provide support to public safety personnel dealing with traumatic events. These teams would help manage stress and psychological impacts from critical incidents, improving the overall well-being of those in law enforcement and emergency services.

The bill affects public safety personnel, including police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical technicians, by providing them with specialized support to handle stress from traumatic experiences. It also impacts mental health professionals who will be part of these CISM teams.

The bill was introduced in the House on January 6, 2025, and has since passed through various stages, including committee reviews, amendments, and final approval. It was signed into law by the Governor on May 8, 2025, and will become effective on July 7, 2025.
