Assembly Bill 113 mandates the creation of a safety plan sharing portal by the Department of Health Services (DHS) to facilitate the sharing of safety plans for minors in crisis among designated safety plan partners. A safety plan is defined as a written document that outlines strategies and information to assist a minor during behavioral or developmental health challenges. The bill specifies that minors at risk of encountering law enforcement or emergency services can create a safety plan with the help of a facilitator, which must include essential details such as the minor's name, contact information for guardians and healthcare providers, and de-escalation strategies. The safety plan will expire one year after it is signed.

The bill also establishes guidelines for the sharing of safety plans, requiring that a minor's safety plan can only be shared with partners if the minor has signed a release of information. This release must clarify the conditions under which the safety plan can be accessed and stipulates that confidentiality must be maintained. Additionally, the bill allows for the formation of safety plan networks among various entities, such as healthcare providers, schools, and law enforcement agencies, to enhance collaboration in supporting minors in crisis. The DHS is tasked with developing the portal, which will include functionalities for online safety plan creation and notifications for plan expirations.
