Illinois HB5520 creates the Statewide 9-8-8 Trust Fund, a special fund in the state treasury administered by the Department of Human Services. The fund will use moneys from appropriations, grants, and other sources to establish and maintain a statewide 9-8-8 suicide prevention and mental health crisis system. If the federal government discontinues, suspends, or limits specialized crisis services for LGBTQ+ youth and young adults through the 9-8-8 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, the Department of Human Services may use the fund to provide those services.
