Medical Translation Amendments
SB 311 requires the Huntsman Mental Health Institute to develop a multilingual SafeUT software application (including Spanish) to support a 24/7 crisis line for school safety. The SafeUT Crisis Line enables anonymous reporting of incidents like bullying, violence, or abuse in schools, while providing crisis intervention for emotional distress. The bill establishes a commission with representatives from state agencies, education, and the public to oversee the program. The application will be accessible to students, parents, and school staff to report concerns and access support, with no funding appropriated and effective May 6, 2026.

MINOR
The bill was finalized as an enrolled copy with minor formatting adjustments and a specific deletion of the word 'and' in a coordination clause, while retaining the core requirement to develop a multilingual SafeUT software application.
Scope change
The scope of the bill remains unchanged; it continues to amend the existing SafeUT Crisis Line statute.
TECHNICAL
Minor formatting changes were applied to align the text with the official enrolled copy style.
The word 'and' was removed from Subsection (2)(e) regarding coordination with the state security chief, likely to correct a grammatical error in the original draft.
