The Oregon Senate Committee on Human Services, Mental Health and Recovery heard testimony on Tuesday on SB 563 and SB 682 two bills that aim to address the state’s high suicide rate.
Senate Bill 563 modifies laws to include suicide data and suicide prevention measures to extend to those who are 5 to 10 years of age. Senate Bill 682 establishes and protects the role of Adult Suicide Intervention and Prevention Coordinator in the Oregon Health Authority (OHA). Both bills were discussed in a public hearing for the first time on Tuesday.
