The proposed bill, Senate Bill 108, mandates the Department of Health Services (DHS) to create and maintain a statewide portal for sharing safety plans for minors experiencing behavioral or developmental health crises. A safety plan is defined as a written document that outlines strategies and information to assist a minor in crisis, including their personal details, de-escalation strategies, and contact information for support. The bill also establishes that minors can create these plans with the help of a facilitator and that the plans will expire one year after being signed.

Additionally, the bill outlines the conditions under which a minor's safety plan can be shared with safety plan partners, requiring a signed release of information from the minor. This release must clarify the purpose of sharing the safety plan, the ability to revoke consent, and the confidentiality obligations of the safety plan partners. The bill allows for the formation of safety plan networks among various entities, such as healthcare providers and law enforcement, to facilitate the sharing of these plans. The DHS is also authorized to allocate funding for the development and maintenance of the portal, which will include functionalities for online completion of safety plans and notifications regarding plan expirations.
