Creates provisions relating to funding of behavioral health services
HB 2763 creates a funding mechanism for behavioral health crisis services by requiring wireless service providers to collect specific fees. Dealers selling prepaid wireless services must charge end users $0.65 per transaction, while CMRS providers must charge $0.65 monthly per postpaid line for customers with primary use in the state. All collected funds will be deposited into the new "988 Crisis Continuum Fund" managed by the Department of Mental Health, directly supporting crisis services like the 988 hotline and open access behavioral health programs. This bill affects wireless providers, end users purchasing service, and the state's mental health department, with no tax implications for the collected fees.
