Summary
The bill establishes a 988 Lifeline and Crisis Services Fund within the District’s Department of Behavioral Health and funds it with a modest surcharge on all telephone, wireless, prepaid and VoIP services. The money must be used only for 988 call‑center operations, mobile crisis teams, and crisis‑stabilization services. It aims to give the 988 system a reliable, long‑term revenue source so it can stay staffed and effective.
