Bill Summary

For legislation to require that student identification cards contain suicide prevention lifeline contact information. Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery.

AI Summary

This bill requires that student identification cards issued by public schools serving grades 7-12 and public or private institutions of higher education include the telephone numbers for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, Crisis Text Line, and the school's campus police or security department (or local non-emergency number if the school doesn't have a campus police or security number). The bill provides an exception for schools that had a supply of non-compliant student ID cards as of January 1, 2019, allowing them to deplete that supply before issuing compliant cards. The requirement applies to new student ID cards and replacement cards issued due to damage or loss.
