Bill > HR5306

This bill, known as the Gun Suicide Prevention Act of 2025, requires all firearm manufacturers and retailers to attach a specific label to firearms or their packaging that provides suicide prevention resources. The label must be written in both English and Spanish, include the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline number (988), and feature a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark. The purpose is to provide immediate mental health support information to potential firearm purchasers, with the goal of reducing suicide rates. If manufacturers or retailers sell firearms without this label, they will be subject to penalties similar to those in the Consumer Product Safety Act, including potential fines and other enforcement actions. The law would take effect two years after its enactment, giving businesses time to implement the new labeling requirements. By mandating this warning label, the bill aims to increase awareness of suicide prevention resources and potentially intervene at a critical moment when someone might be considering self-harm.
