Abstract

Under current law, the 988 crisis hotline and the telephone crisis service that is part of the behavioral health crisis response system operate as 2 separate services. The act consolidates the telephone crisis service with the 988 crisis hotline and ensures that callers who call the telephone crisis service are routed to the 988 crisis hotline. The act decreases appropriations made in the long bill to the department of human services for use by the behavioral health administration as follows: The general fund appropriation for behavioral health crisis response system services is decreased by $200,000; and The appropriation for the behavioral health crisis response system telephone hotline is decreased by $3,863,938, which consists of $3,496, 622 from the general fund and $367,316 from the marijuana tax cash fund. For the state fiscal year, 2025-26, the act appropriates $3,863,938 from the 988 crisis hotline cash fund to the department of human services for use by the behavioral health administration to implement this act. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
