This legislation, known as the "Improving Mental Health Access for Students Act," aims to enhance student access to crucial suicide prevention resources. It amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to require higher education institutions to include specific mental health contact information on student identification cards. For institutions that issue student ID cards, each card must display phone contact details for the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline , the Crisis Text Line , and a designated campus mental health center or program . If an institution does not create and distribute student identification cards, it is mandated to publish this same suicide prevention contact information prominently on its official website. This provision ensures that all students have readily available access to vital support services, with an effective date set for one year after the bill's enactment.
