Relating to the provision of information regarding suicide
prevention and certain state laws applicable to handgun license
holders.
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
HB 4259 would require the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to post on its website a printable brochure that includes information regarding suicide prevention, the warning signs that a person is at risk of suicide, and state agencies that provide mental health and suicide prevention services, and the phone number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. The bill requires DPS to update the brochure not later than October 1 of each year and to provide the brochure by mail or email to each new applicant for a handgun license.
Texas Action is neutral toward HB 4259 which does not impact our liberty principals.
