HB 3098 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Creates provisions relating to funding of behavioral health services

HB 3098 creates a funding mechanism for behavioral health crisis services by imposing two new fees on wireless service providers. It requires dealers selling prepaid wireless to charge $0.65 per transaction and CMRS providers to charge $0.65 monthly per postpaid line for customers with Missouri as their primary place of use. All collected funds will be deposited into the new "988 Crisis Continuum Fund" managed by the state treasurer. These funds must be used exclusively by the Department of Mental Health to operate crisis services (like 988 support) and open access behavioral health services for uninsured or underinsured residents. The bill directly affects wireless service providers and end users purchasing wireless plans, while expanding access to behavioral health crisis care.
