Maddy summaryHB 3643 designates October 9 of each year as Oregon Youth Suicide Awareness Day and declares an emergency effective upon passage. The bill directly affects Oregon youth and communities by establishing an annual day to focus attention on youth suicide prevention, citing that 109 Oregon youth died by suicide in 2022 and Oregon ranked 12th nationally in youth suicide rates. Its key mechanism is the annual observance date, supported by an emergency declaration to prioritize action on this issue. The bill became law on June 16, 2025, after passage by the legislature and governor's signature. It does not create new programs or funding but aims to raise awareness of a critical public health concern.
