The bill establishes new provisions regarding parental notification in cases of harassment, intimidation, bullying, and threats of suicide involving students. It allows school districts to create plans to inform parents or guardians about such incidents and mandates that when a threat of suicide is reported, the school must provide resources for suicide prevention and crisis intervention. These resources include information on obtaining a suicide risk assessment, limiting access to firearms and lethal medications, securely storing these items, and requesting a free safe storage device from the newly created firearm safe storage grant fund.

Additionally, the bill establishes the firearm safe storage grant fund, which will be managed by the Department of Administration. This fund will be used to purchase and distribute firearm safe storage devices at no cost to school districts or firearm safety programs. The fund will consist of appropriated money, grant funds, and donations, and it will not lapse. The bill also allows the department to adopt regulations to implement these provisions and clarifies the definition of a firearm safe storage device.
