Michigan SB0917 amends the mental health code to create a 988 crisis lifeline system fund, which will receive a telecommunications fee from consumers. This fee, collected from subscribers of commercial landline and mobile telephones, as well as point-of-sale purchasers of prepaid telephones, will support crisis services. The fee is set at 25 cents per line per month, with adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index. The Department of Treasury will oversee the fund, review compliance, and issue annual reports.
