Bill Summary
In 2009, New Hampshire was the first state to develop a statewide Gun Shop Project, reaching out to gun shops regarding the role they can play in suicide prevention. In the years since, at least 21 other states have implemented similar campaigns. This Act establishes the Delaware Gun Shop Project (Project), under which the Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health (Division) must develop relevant materials that may be posted conspicuously and available for distribution at Delaware gun shops.
AI Summary
This bill establishes the Delaware Gun Shop Project, which requires the Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health to develop educational materials for gun shops to provide to customers. These materials will focus on understanding the signs of clinical depression that may lead to suicide and how to access suicide prevention services. The bill also requires the Division to develop a training module for gun shop employees on their role in suicide prevention, which must be updated every two years and provided free of charge. The Division is tasked with promulgating regulations to track the participation and efficacy of the program.
