Modifies provisions governing mental health efforts in public schools

HB 1529 requires public schools serving grades 7-12 to implement suicide prevention measures. It mandates annual suicide prevention training for all teachers (starting 2023-24), school district policies for identifying at-risk students, and printing the 988 suicide hotline number on student ID cards by 2025. Starting in 2026, training must include the Columbia Protocol for suicide risk assessment and a virtual mental health tool for educators. The bill also requires mental health awareness education in high school curricula beginning 2022-23.
