Senate Bill 307 aims to enhance mental health support in Wisconsin by establishing a grant program for organizations that provide crisis intervention services and crisis care coordination for individuals reaching out to the national 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. The bill mandates the Department of Health Services (DHS) to award these grants, ensuring that assistance is available to anyone in the state who contacts the hotline.

The bill introduces a new section, 46.533, into the statutes, defining the national crisis hotline as the 988 number or its successor, which is part of a federally administered program. This legislative effort builds on the existing partnership between DHS and Wisconsin Lifeline, expanding the resources available for mental health crisis management across the state.
