Bill
SB 95
Establishes a state Suicide Prevention Fund and appropriates funds to expand crisis hotlines, prevention programs, and community grants.
Short answer — I can summarize SB 95, but the documents you provided do not contain a bill titled or texted “Provide funding for suicide prevention.” They instead include multiple unrelated versions of different SB 95 bills (travel seller/fraud, hospital price transparency, municipal electric authority, port authority, law‑enforcement reimbursement, etc.). I need the correct bill text or a pointer to the jurisdiction/version you want summarized.
What I searched in the materials you sent
- California Business & Professions Code edits (sellers of travel / travel consolidators).
- Michigan “Hospital Price Transparency Act.”
- Alabama Municipal Electric Authority amendments.
- Kansas port authority authorization language.
- Multiple other states’ SB 95 drafts (Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Arkansas, Hawaii, etc.).
- No document in the packet contains language about suicide prevention, mental‑health funding, or an appropriation for suicide prevention programs.
How I can help (pick one)
1) If you provide the correct SB 95 (jurisdiction/state and bill text or a link), I will produce a 200–500 word, objective, markdown‑formatted summary that covers:
- Purpose and intent
- Key provisions and statutory changes
- Who and what is affected
- Fiscal/appropriations and timelines
- Enforcement/administration details
2) If you don’t have the text available, tell me:
- The state (or federal) legislature and bill year (you indicated Jan 23, 2025)
- Any part of the bill you recall (funding amount, agency, program names, appropriation language)
I’ll locate the bill and summarize it.
Optional: a modeled example summary (if useful)
Below is a short example of the style I will produce once I have the correct bill text. This is a hypothetical template only (not a summary of an actual provided bill):
Purpose and intent
- Establishes a state suicide prevention fund and appropriates $20 million in FY 2025–26 to expand suicide prevention services, crisis response, training, and public education.
Key provisions
- Creates the Suicide Prevention and Crisis Response Fund within the State Treasury and appropriates $20,000,000 one‑time to the Fund.
- Directs the Department of Health (or specified agency) to use funds for: (a) statewide 988/mental‑health crisis line capacity; (b) competitive grants to community behavioral health organizations; (c) school‑based prevention programs and training (e.g., QPR, ASIST); and (d) data collection and evaluation.
- Requires allocation rules, grant priorities, and reporting requirements; caps administrative costs at 5% of the appropriation.
- Requires grantees to demonstrate measurable outcomes and to submit expenditure and program performance reports annually.
Who is affected
- State Department of Health (administration and oversight)
- Counties, behavioral health providers, schools, tribal entities, community nonprofits (eligible grantees)
- Individuals at risk of suicide and populations with elevated suicide rates (youth, veterans, rural residents)
Timeline and procedural notes
- Funds available beginning July 1, 2025; agencies must publish grant guidelines within 90 days.
- Sunset or reappropriation: one‑time funding unless renewed in subsequent budget.
- Fiscal note: expected one‑time appropriation as listed; no on‑going state obligation beyond appropriation.
Potential impact
- Increased crisis‑line capacity, expanded local prevention services, and improved data for targeting interventions; effectiveness depends on timely distribution and performance monitoring.
Next step
Reply with the correct jurisdiction and either:
- The bill text (paste or attach), or
- A link to the bill page, or
- Any identifying information (state, chamber, bill version, or chapter number) for the suicide‑prevention SB 95 you want summarized.
I’ll prepare the requested comprehensive, objective summary as soon as I have the correct material.
