Title: Drug overdose and substance use hotline.
Author: Matt Haney

Summary
AB 864, as introduced, Haney. Drug overdose and substance use hotline. Existing federal law, the National Suicide Hotline Designation Act, designates the 3-digit telephone number “988” as the universal number within the United States for the purpose of the national suicide prevention and mental health crisis hotline system. Existing law, the Miles Hall Lifeline and Suicide Prevention Act, requires the Office of Emergency Services to appoint a 988 system director and, among other things, verify interoperability between and across 911 and 988. Existing law also requires the California Health and Human Services Agency to create, no later than December 31, 2023, a set of recommendations to support a 5-year implementation plan for a comprehensive 988 system.This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation to create a 3-digit, statewide telephone number to connect directly to a state-managed crisis center that gives public health information on the prevention of drug overdoses, advice for family members and people experiencing drug addiction, and referrals to substance use disorder treatment.
