Provide funding for suicide prevention
This bill allocates $500,000 from the state special revenue account to Montana's Department of Public Health and Human Services for suicide prevention efforts targeting service members, veterans, and their families. The funding will support implementing strategies developed with federal assistance, establishing suicide risk screening standards, and improving care transitions through peer support and collaborative policies between military and civilian agencies. Additional provisions include launching a statewide safe storage campaign for lethal means, conducting safety training events, and creating a working group to adopt clinical guidelines for safety planning. The act also requires the secretary of state to notify federally recognized tribal governments and takes effect on July 1, 2025.
