HB 2583 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Creates provisions relating to a homicide prevention hotline

This bill establishes a statewide, toll-free homicide prevention hotline to assist individuals experiencing homicidal thoughts. The Department of Mental Health must staff the hotline around the clock with trained employees or contractors and create a specialized mobile response team to provide in-person crisis intervention when needed. Staff and mobile team members are required to undergo annual training on conflict resolution, legal issues, and safety protocols, while the department must develop written procedures for handling calls and promote the service through its website and outreach materials. The legislation also allows the department to integrate these services into existing crisis programs if they meet specific standards for availability, training, and public promotion.
