The proposed bill establishes a suicide mortality review team within the Department of Veterans' Affairs in Nebraska. This team will consist of various members, including the Director of Behavioral Health, representatives from the Nebraska Violent Death Reporting System, and other appointed individuals from education, healthcare, law enforcement, and mental health sectors. The team is tasked with developing a data collection system for suicide mortalities, conducting annual analyses of suicide incidents, creating protocols for investigations, and educating the public on suicide prevention.

Additionally, the bill outlines the powers and duties of the review team, including the ability to apply for subpoenas to collect necessary data from various sources, while ensuring that all acquired information remains confidential and protected from legal proceedings. The review team is required to submit an annual report summarizing the causes and contributing factors of suicides reviewed in the previous year, along with recommendations for preventing future deaths. This initiative aims to enhance the understanding and prevention of suicides in Nebraska through collaborative efforts and data-driven strategies.
