AB2003

Pupil health: suicide prevention.

Final Passage·7/2/26

California AB2003 mandates the development of an online training program for school staff, pupils, and parents to prevent pupil suicide.

California AB2003 requires the Behavioral Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission to create an evidence-based online training program for school staff, pupils aged 13 and older, and parents. The program must be trauma-informed, culturally and linguistically competent, and accessible statewide. Local educational agencies must report screening data to the Department of Education, which will compile and post statewide aggregate data. The act emphasizes the urgency of these measures for public health and safety.
