SB 1745 MO
SB 1745 - Under current law, all peace officers and first responders are required to have a mental health check-in with a program service provider once every three to five years. This act allows a department to satisfy this requirement if they have an established behavioral health or mental health program that meets enumerated requirements. This act also adds first responder commanding officers to the list of people approved to receive notification that the check-in requirement has been met. This act is identical to SB 1731 (2026), and to a provision contained in CCS/HCS/SS/SB 975 (2026), and the Truly Agreed To and Finally Passed SS/SCS/HCS/HB 2372 (2026). TRISTAN BENSON, JR.

Summary
Under current law, peace officers and first responders are required to have a mental health check-in with a program service provider once every three to five years. This act allows a department to satisfy this requirement by maintaining an established behavioral health or mental health program that meets specified requirements, rather than requiring individual check-ins through external providers. The act also expands the list of people approved to receive notification that the check-in requirement has been met to include first responder commanding officers.
