The bill proposes an appropriation of $1,450,000 from the general fund to the public education department for the fiscal year 2026, specifically aimed at funding a youth behavioral health prevention project. This project will utilize a multi-component digital platform to deliver essential behavioral health education resources, peer-to-peer support services, and private online sessions with licensed behavioral health professionals. Any funds that remain unspent or unencumbered by the end of the fiscal year will revert back to the general fund.

Additionally, the bill outlines specific requirements for the department's request for proposals. The proposed platform must not only provide the aforementioned services but also ensure that the provider has a proven track record of delivering similar services to public school students in other states. This aims to ensure that the selected provider is experienced and capable of effectively supporting the behavioral health needs of students.
