Suicide prevention plan and 9888 Lifeline reporting provisions modification

This bill updates Minnesota's suicide prevention reporting requirements and establishes standards for the state's 988 Lifeline service. It requires the health commissioner to conduct periodic evaluations of the suicide prevention plan and submit biennial reports to legislative committees by July 1 of each even-numbered year. The legislation also mandates that the designated 988 Lifeline center meet specific operational and clinical standards, including 24/7 availability, data reporting, technology interoperability, and collaboration with mental health providers and emergency services. Additionally, the bill requires the commissioner to develop protocols for coordinating between 988 and 911 services and to provide biennial public reports on 988 usage metrics such as answer rates and emergency referrals.
