I’m proud to join Congresswoman Torres and Congressman Fitzpatrick in the effort to recognize these heroes, and I’ll keep pushing to get it across the finish line.
Keep pushing to pass the 9-1-1 SAVES Act to reclassify 9-1-1 dispatchers as first responders and recognize their emergency services work.

Buchanan announced he was cosponsoring the 9-1-1 SAVES Act and said he would keep pushing to get it across the finish line.

Congress.gov lists H.R.637 as introduced on January 22, 2025, referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce, with status Introduced.
Assessments
Buchanan took concrete same-term action by cosponsoring the 9-1-1 SAVES Act, which materially advances the promise to keep pushing for reclassification of 9-1-1 dispatchers as first responders. However, H.R. 637 remained introduced/referred and had not passed the House, Senate, or become law as of the available 119th Congress record, so the substantive passage/reclassification outcome has not been delivered.
