An Act relative to suicide prevention signage at certain facilities

This bill requires owners of garages taller than three stories to post specific suicide prevention signs on upper floors and stairwells, directing people to the 988 emergency line and the message "You Are Not Alone." The required signage must be designed by the state Department of Public Health and owners must submit proof of compliance within a year, facing a daily fine of $50 for non-compliance. Additionally, the bill mandates a study of mass transportation facilities to identify suicide risks and eventually requires the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority to install similar prevention signage and design features to reduce access to suicide methods. These measures aim to increase visibility of help resources and modify physical environments at high-risk locations to prevent suicide.
