The proposed bill amends Title 35 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to establish the First Responder Resilience Grant Program and the First Responder Resilience Grant Program Fund. This new chapter, designated as Chapter 75B, includes provisions for the program's purpose, application process, and grant distribution. The program aims to provide competitive grants to first responder organizations to cover personnel costs associated with integrating resilience coaches, who will support the mental health and wellness of first responders through evidence-based tools and practices. The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency is tasked with implementing and administering the program, including developing application forms and establishing a review process for grant applications.

Additionally, the bill establishes the First Responder Resilience Grant Program Fund as a nonlapsing fund in the State Treasury, ensuring that all deposited funds and earnings are continuously appropriated for grant awards. The agency is also required to develop educational materials on mental health best practices, maintain a publicly accessible website with grant information, and issue annual reports detailing the program's operations and outcomes. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
