WHAT THE BILL DOES
AI-writtenThis bill matters because it addresses the growing concern about mental health among college students by making crisis resources more visible and accessible. By putting these numbers directly on student IDs or websites, it removes potential barriers for students who might be struggling but don't know where to turn or feel uncomfortable asking for help. If this bill becomes law, students facing a mental health crisis could quickly find immediate support, potentially saving lives.
Without this bill, colleges might or might not provide this information, and there wouldn't be a consistent national standard for making these resources available. Passing this bill ensures that every student at an institution of higher education has easy access to essential mental health contacts, reinforcing the message that help is available and easily reachable during difficult times.
KEY PROVISIONS
4AI-extractedPROVISION 01
Requires colleges that issue student ID cards to include contact information for the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, Crisis Text Line, and a campus mental health service on each card.
This provision ensures students have immediate, physical access to critical mental health support numbers.
PROVISION 02
Requires colleges that do not issue student ID cards to publish the same suicide prevention contact information on their institutional website.
This ensures that all students, regardless of whether their college issues IDs, have access to these vital resources.
PROVISION 03
Allows the Secretary of Education to designate alternative national crisis organizations if the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline or Crisis Text Line cease to exist.
This provision ensures the listed resources remain current and effective over time.
PROVISION 04
The requirements of the bill will take effect one year after its date of enactment.
This provides institutions with sufficient time to implement the necessary changes to their ID card production or website content.
