Commission Legislative priorities – bills and laws that impact the behavioral health landscape of California

 

Legislative Session 2025-2026

SPONSORED BILLS

Assembly Bill 2003 (Berman)

Existing law mandates the State Department of Education to select an evidence-based online training program for middle and high schools to use for training on pupil suicide prevention, and to provide a grant for these training programs. However, this bill proposes changes: it removes the requirement for grants and for the department to identify a training program. Instead, the Behavioral Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission will develop an online training program for all school levels, from kindergarten to 12th grade. Additionally, if educational entities conduct suicide risk screenings, they must report the data to the department, which will post statewide aggregate data online.
