Establishes a fund for behavioral health crisis services, funded by charges on prepaid and postpaid CMRS.

Missouri HB2638 creates the "988 Crisis Continuum Fund" to support behavioral health crisis services. The fund is financed by charges on prepaid and postpaid commercial mobile radio service (CMRS). Dealers must collect a $2.50 prepaid CMRS wireless 988 charge per retail transaction, while CMRS providers and resellers must collect a $0.65 monthly postpaid wireless 988 charge per access line. All revenues from these charges are deposited into the fund and used by the Department of Mental Health for crisis services.
