Modifies provisions relating to critical incident management
SB 1731 establishes Missouri's "Critical Incident Stress Management Program" within the Department of Public Safety to support peace officers and first responders. The bill requires these personnel to complete a mental health check-in with program providers every 3-5 years, with confidentiality protections for disclosures (except in limited cases like preventing harm or under mandatory reporting laws). It creates a dedicated "988 Public Safety Fund" using state appropriations to cover program costs, including services like consultation, risk assessment, and crisis intervention. The fund's remaining balance at biennium end cannot revert to general revenue, ensuring sustained funding for mental health support. This bill directly affects law enforcement and first responders by mandating regular mental health check-ins and funding targeted support for trauma related to critical incidents.
