Relating to liability of the local emergency telephone systems.

Summary

The bill shields public agencies, telephone companies and counties that run emergency telephone systems from civil suits when they refer callers to the national 988 mental‑health hotline. However, it removes that protection for cases of gross negligence, willful or wanton misconduct. This aims to encourage crisis referrals while keeping serious misconduct accountable.
