This bill creates the Mental Health Crisis Hotline Task Force, which is tasked with developing an implementation plan for Nebraska to integrate and utilize the 988 mental health crisis hotline established by the federal National Suicide Hotline Designation Act of 2020. The task force will identify a method to integrate local mental health crisis hotlines, develop a plan for staffing a statewide mental health crisis hotline, coordinate with local mental health authorities, and conduct a cost analysis to determine how a fee structure similar to 911 services could be designed to cover the costs of the 988 hotline.
