Relating to a biennial state report on suicide rates, the Texas Violent Death Reporting System, and certain suicide data shared under a memorandum of understanding.
SB 3020 requires Texas state agencies to produce a biennial report on suicide prevalence and prevention efforts. The report must include disaggregated data by county and risk category, longitudinal trends since 2000, and specific information on suicide rates among military personnel, veterans, first responders, and youth. It also mandates listing all relevant state laws, agency initiatives, funding sources (federal grants or state appropriations), and program details. State agencies must provide this data to the commission, which will submit the final report to the governor and legislative committees every even-numbered year. This bill creates a reporting mechanism but does not change existing suicide prevention policies or funding.
