AI Summary
This bill appropriates a total of $1 million ($500,000 in fiscal years 2026 and 2027) from the general fund to the commissioner of labor and industry specifically to address mental health challenges in the construction industry. The funding is intended to support a comprehensive approach to mental health, including outreach efforts, educational programs, developing resources to reduce stigma surrounding mental health, and creating worksite strategies to support workers' mental well-being. The bill also allows for grants to industry groups to implement related mental health and suicide prevention activities. These are designated as one-time appropriations and will be available until June 30, 2027. The bill recognizes the unique mental health challenges faced by construction workers, who often work in high-stress, physically demanding environments with potential job instability, and seeks to provide targeted support to address these specific workforce mental health needs.
