HR 7069 United States House · 118th Congress

Peer Support for Firefighters Act

This bill allows federal firefighter grant funds to be used for evidence-based peer support programs addressing mental health. It directly helps firefighters by expanding access to peer-led mental health support through existing grant programs. The key provision adds a new funding category (subparagraph F) to authorize these programs under the Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act. Fire departments can now implement or grow peer support initiatives using current grant resources without requiring new legislation.
