Requires Commissioner of Human Services to establish 24-hour, toll-free Mental Illness Resource Hotline and develop hotline connection system to ensure that callers are connected to other appropriate hotlines when needed.

This bill creates a statewide 24/7 toll-free mental health hotline in New Jersey for non-emergency mental health concerns. It requires the Human Services Commissioner to staff the hotline with licensed professionals (including multilingual staff) who connect callers to local resources, with a specific "warm hand-off" to the Suicide Prevention Hopeline for any call indicating suicide risk. The hotline must operate separately from existing hotlines, include public awareness campaigns targeting youth, and comply with privacy laws while tracking anonymized data to improve services. It directly affects residents seeking mental health support and ensures coordinated access to community-based care.
