An Act amending the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.177, No.175), known as The Administrative Code of 1929, in powers and duties of Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, providing for suicide prevention.
HB 415 claims to amend Pennsylvania's 1929 Administrative Code to add suicide prevention duties to the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR). However, the DCNR manages state parks and natural resources, not public health or suicide prevention services - this appears to be a misclassification in the bill's title. No specific suicide prevention mechanisms, funding, or affected groups are described in the provided context. The bill was recently laid on the table without further action, indicating it did not advance. The title's reference to "suicide prevention" likely reflects an error, as DCNR lacks statutory authority for such programs.
