Requires crisis hotline centers to employ individuals with prior experience working with military veterans.

This bill requires crisis hotline centers contracted with New Jersey's Department of Human Services to employ staff with prior experience working with military veterans. The Commissioner of Human Services must include this requirement in rules governing staffing qualifications, training, and experience for these centers. These centers are part of the state's 24/7 mobile behavioral health crisis response system, which provides emergency mental health services. The policy change specifically adds veteran experience as a staffing criterion without altering other existing service requirements.
