The bill mandates that school districts in Wyoming implement suicide prevention programs for students. It specifies that these programs must be age-appropriate and evidence-based, aligning with existing suicide prevention education materials and training outlined in other sections of the law. The intent is to ensure that students receive the necessary education and resources to understand and address the issue of suicide.

The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2023, establishing a formal requirement for educational institutions to prioritize mental health and suicide prevention in their curricula. This initiative reflects a growing recognition of the importance of mental health education in schools and aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills to recognize and respond to suicidal behaviors.
