Public Safety and Mental Health Reporting

Summary#

The bill would direct the Attorney General, working with the Department of Health and Human Services, to collect yearly data about law enforcement interactions with people with mental illness. The data could be used only for research or statistics and could not include information that identifies an individual crime victim. The Attorney General would publish an annual summary and send it to Congress.

The bill would make yearly summaries of these interactions available to the public. It does not set out individual services or other direct benefits for people with mental illness.

Expenses#

The bill authorizes funding for fiscal years 2026 through 2036, in amounts that may be necessary. It does not specify a dollar amount.
