Recognizing the Role of Direct Support Professionals Act
Refreshed 4 h ago
Introduced 2025-11-19Topic: labor · social services · governance ethicsSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to consider creating a separate job code for direct support professionals, who assist people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, in the federal Standard Occupational Classification system. The Director would consider this during the first revision of the system after the bill becomes law, listing the job as a healthcare support occupation. If the Director decides not to create the code, the Director must send a report explaining the decision to specific Senate and House committees within 1 month after that revision. The bill does not authorize any new funds.
