Key Points

This bill requires colleges and universities to print mental health crisis contact information on student ID cards. This includes the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and the Crisis Text Line.
Schools must also include contact details for their own campus mental health centers. If a school does not use physical ID cards, they are required to post this information clearly on their official website instead.
The goal is to make sure students have immediate access to help during a mental health crisis. By putting these numbers on a card students carry every day, supporters hope to provide faster support and prevent suicides.
If passed, schools would have one year to start following these new rules. This gives institutions time to update their card printing processes or website layouts without facing immediate penalties.
