This bill, known as the Raising Awareness for Youth Suicide Prevention Act (RAYS Act), aims to enhance mental health support for secondary school students by amending the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. Its primary purpose is to require local educational agencies (LEAs) that receive federal funds to provide critical mental health and suicide prevention contact information directly to students. Specifically, LEAs issuing student identification cards must ensure these cards include contact details for the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline , the Crisis Text Line , and a selected State or local suicide prevention hotline. For LEAs that do not issue physical ID cards, the bill mandates this information be prominently published on their public website and integrated into computer portals and software platforms regularly used by secondary students. The bill allows flexibility in how this information is included on ID cards and directs the Secretary, in coordination with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, to conduct comprehensive outreach campaigns to inform the public about these resources. These requirements will take effect one year after the Act's enactment, with provisions for digital platforms applying sooner, ensuring broad dissemination of crucial support contacts.
