Relating to: 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline grants. (FE)

SB 307 creates a new state grant program to fund crisis intervention services for people contacting the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline from within the state. The bill directs the state department to award grants to organizations providing crisis care coordination to individuals who call or text 988. These grants specifically support services for callers who are residents of the state, regardless of where they physically are when contacting the national hotline. The law defines "national crisis hotline" as 988 or its successor under federal law, ensuring state funding aligns with the existing national system.
