From the meeting
The bill required the Division of Child Protection and Permanency to develop and adopt a suicide screening and crisis response planning course for caseworkers. It covered warning signs, the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale, immediate de-escalation, and coordination with mental health professionals, schools, resource parents, and community supports. Caseworkers hired before the effective date had to complete it within 24 months, and the course had to be part of initial and biennial in-service training.
The Assembly passed the bill 78-0 on 2026-10-29; it takes effect 180 days after enactment.
