An Act relative to 988 Samaritan suicide prevention signs on bridges of the commonwealth

HD 3728 requires the Massachusetts Department of Highways to install two "988 Suicide Prevention" signs on every bridge under its jurisdiction, one at each end. The signs must be clearly readable to pedestrians and drivers and include the 988 hotline number as a resource for those in crisis. This policy directly affects bridge users across the Commonwealth by making suicide prevention resources immediately visible. The Department of Highways must complete all installations within one year of the bill's passage.
