Kentucky HB514 mandates signs on state-maintained highway bridges displaying the 988 suicide prevention hotline.
Kentucky HB514 creates a new section in the Kentucky Revised Statutes to authorize the installation of signs on state-maintained highway bridges. These signs will display the 988 national suicide prevention and mental health crisis hotline. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet will determine the appropriate locations for these signs, focusing on bridges where suicides by jumping have occurred or are likely to occur. The signs must communicate that dialing 988 connects callers to behavioral health and suicide prevention services.
