Establishes telecommunication fee to support Statewide behavioral health crisis system of care.
This bill imposes a $0.40 monthly fee per mobile line on New Jersey residents using commercial mobile or IP-enabled voice services (excluding federal Lifeline program users) to fund the state's 9-8-8 crisis system. Telecom companies collect the fee from customers' bills and send it quarterly to a new "9-8-8 Suicide Prevention and Behavioral Health Crisis Hotline Trust Fund." The fund will pay for 9-8-8 call routing, mobile crisis response teams, crisis stabilization centers, and public awareness campaigns. This directly affects all NJ mobile subscribers (except Lifeline users) and creates a dedicated revenue stream for expanding behavioral health crisis services.
