The bill establishes the "department of corrections peer support fund" within the state treasury, which will be administered by the secretary of corrections. The fund is designated for supporting a peer support program aimed at promoting mental health, wellness, crisis intervention, and suicide prevention among corrections officers and other department employees. Starting July 1, 2026, $500,000 will be transferred from the state general fund to this new fund, with additional transfers allowed in subsequent fiscal years as specified by appropriation acts. The fund will cover various expenses related to the peer support program, including training, materials, equipment, and staffing costs.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the secretary of corrections may adopt necessary rules and regulations for the fund's administration. It emphasizes that the fund's resources are to be used solely for the purposes outlined in the bill and are protected from being diverted for other governmental uses. The secretary is also required to report annually to the governor and legislature on the fund's expenditures and the effectiveness of the peer support program.
