SB 1745 Missouri Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to critical incident management

SB 1745 creates Missouri’s "Critical Incident Stress Management Program" within the Department of Public Safety, directly serving police officers and first responders. It requires these personnel to complete a mental health check-in with program providers every 3-5 years to address stress from critical incidents (like traumatic events causing intense fear or helplessness). The bill protects the confidentiality of disclosures during these check-ins, with limited exceptions for preventing harm or under mandatory reporting laws. It also establishes a dedicated "988 Public Safety Fund" to pay for these services, ensuring funds cannot revert to general revenue and must be used solely for mental health support for first responders.
