Modifies provisions governing mental health efforts in public schools

Summary

The bill updates Missouri school statutes to encourage suicide‑prevention professional development for licensed educators, require 988 lifeline contact information on student ID cards, and mandate mental‑health awareness instruction for high‑school students. It directs the state education department to create guidelines, model policies, and training materials, and it sets timelines for schools to adopt these practices. The measure failed to pass, so none of the provisions took effect.
