HB 5257 mandates school districts to require all employees and volunteers who regularly interact with students to complete an evidence-based mental health training program. The bill allows for exemptions for those who have already completed similar training and provides for state funding to cover training-related costs. Additionally, it expands eligibility for free mental health first aid training provided by local mental health authorities.
