Bill > HR3624

This bill requires colleges and universities to include suicide prevention contact information on student identification cards or, if they do not issue physical ID cards, on their institutional website. Specifically, the bill mandates that student IDs must display phone numbers for the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, the Crisis Text Line, and a campus mental health center or program chosen by the institution. If either the national suicide prevention or crisis text line organizations cease to exist, the Secretary of Education can designate a replacement organization with a similar purpose. The requirement will go into effect one year after the bill is enacted, giving institutions time to update their identification cards or websites. The bill aims to improve mental health resources and support for students by ensuring that critical support contact information is readily accessible, potentially helping students who may be experiencing mental health challenges or suicidal thoughts to quickly find help.
