This bill strengthens youth suicide prevention efforts in Utah by ensuring families get information about limiting access to firearms and lethal means when a child or teen may be experiencing a mental health crisis. Previously, under Utah law, schools were required to notify a parent if their student threatens suicide or if the student is involved in an incident of bullying. This bill adds the requirement that schools give suicide prevention materials and information on ways to limit the student's access to fatal means, including firearms to parents who have been notified of a threat of suicide or a bullying incident. Under this bill, the state superintendent is responsible for selecting the materials to distribute in collaboration with the state suicide prevention coordinator and public education suicide prevention coordinator.

This can include, but is not limited to usability or accessibility, to install interior locks on each door in that school facility or building, except as provided. By placing a new requirement on local educational agencies, the bill would constitute a statemandated local program.
