Consolidation of Crisis Response Services

Joint Budget Committee. Under current law, the 988 crisis hotline and the telephone crisis service that is part of the behavioral health crisis response system operate as 2 separate services. The bill consolidates the telephone crisis service with the 988 crisis hotline. This ensures that callers who call the telephone crisis service will be routed to the 988 crisis hotline.
