From committee: Do pass and re-refer to Com. on APPR. (Ayes 10. Noes 0.) (July 1). Re-referred to Com. on APPR.
Summary
The bill orders the Office of Emergency Services to ask the federal SAMHSA to enable a ‘press 3’ feature on the 988 hotline that would automatically connect LGBTQ+ youth callers to a specialized crisis center. It also requires the state health agency to contract with qualified LGBTQ+ suicide‑prevention providers and to set eligibility and funding criteria. The measure aims to fill a gap created when the federal press‑3 service was halted in 2025.
