# SAVES Act of 2025 Summary **What the Bill Does:** The SAVES Act of 2025 (S 1441) would create or modify programs related to service animals, disability assistance, and volunteer service. Based on its subject matter, the bill likely addresses how service animals are trained, certified, or utilized to help people with disabilities, and may establish volunteer programs or charitable organization involvement in these efforts. The bill also appears to touch on veterans' benefits and veterinary standards related to service animals. **Who It Affects:** This legislation would primarily impact people with disabilities who rely on service animals, veterans receiving disability compensation, and potentially volunteer organizations and charities involved in service animal training or disability services.

Veterinarians and animal welfare organizations may also be affected depending on the bill's specific requirements. **Current Status:** As of now, the SAVES Act remains in committee (S 1441, 119th Congress), meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. The bill was introduced by Senator Thomas Tillis (R-NC).
