BILL NUMBER: S5453

SPONSOR: HELMING
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the mental hygiene law, in relation to creating the
rural suicide prevention council

 
PURPOSE:

The purpose of this bill is to reduce the growing rate of suicide in
rural New York through the establishment of a rural suicide prevention
council

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

A new section 7.48 is added to the mental hygiene law entitled "rural
suicide prevention council."

The new council will consist of fourteen members to be appointed as
follows: two members appointed as follows: two members appointed by the

Commissioner of the Office of Mental Hygiene; two members appointed by
the Commissioner of Health; two members shall be appointed by the
Commissioner of Agriculture and Markets; two members appointed by the
Speaker of the Assembly; two members appointed by the Temporary Presi-
dent of the Senate; two members appointed by the Majority Leader of the
Assembly; and two members appointed by the Minority Leader of the
Senate.

The Commissioner of the Office of Mental Hygiene will appoint the chair
of the council.

Membership on the council may include representatives of local mental
hygiene directors, psychiatric and psychological practitioners,
substance abuse professionals, persons with expertise in public health
issues, any group, association, or university with expertise in finan-
cial or economic analysis, business planning, and providing supports for
farmers and other individuals residing in a rural area, and others whose
professional expertise includes rural affairs related to the duties of
the council.

The council will examine the causes and conditions related to the rise
of rural suicide, as well as access to mental health care in areas
considered "rural" as defined in section 481 of the executive law.  The
council will identify policies, practices, resources, services and
potential legislation that may result in the reduction of rural suicide
and offer recommendations for coordination of the relevant services and
resources.  The council will examine the causes and conditions related
to the rise of rural suicide, as well as access to mental health care in
areas considered "rural" as defined in section 481 of the executive law.
The council will identify policies, practices, resources services and
potential legislation that may result in the reduction of rural suicide
and offer recommendations for coordination of the relevant services and
resources.

The council will create a plan to identify persons at-risk for suicide,
particularly within certain professions, including farming and agricul-
tural work, and to increase access to and delivery of suicide care. The
council shall meet at least two times annually.  Members of the council
shall not receive compensation but will be reimbursed for their actual
expenses.

The council will submit a report by January 1, 2020 to the Governor and
the Legislature. The report will recommend policies, legislation, and
funding needed to implement their findings.

 
EXISTING LAW:

This is a new section of law

 
JUSTIFICATION:

In 2017, the Centers for Disease Control released data from 2001-2005
which showed that rural counties had higher rates of suicide than metro-
politan counties. Presently, suicide is the tenth leading cause of death
among Americans with over half a million suicides occurring during the
survey period.

The rise in suicide rates is not attributable to one factor but instead
to a number of factors. Increasing rural suicide may be the result of
economic insecurity, social isolation, a dearth of mental health profes-
sionals, higher levels of alcohol and substance abuse, weakened social
support, and many other factors.

The Rural Suicide Prevention Council envisioned in this legislation
would be tasked with examining the epidemic of suicide in rural New York
and then creating a comprehensive plan to address the problem.  Address-
ing the root problems of the mental health crisis in our state is a
critical first step to helping the state provide needed services to our
residents.
