Relating to: provision of virtual mental health services for students at certain UW System institutions. (FE)

SB 306 requires the University of Wisconsin (UW) System Board to contract with a vendor providing virtual mental health services for students at UW institutions with 30,000 or fewer full-time undergraduate students (based on April 1 enrollment data). The services must complement existing campus mental health resources, extend support beyond regular hours, and include licensed providers with higher education experience. Vendors must have at least five years of experience in student mental health services and submit annual reports on student usage to the board and legislature. This bill directly affects eligible UW students and aims to expand access to virtual mental health support through a structured vendor partnership.
