The "Raising Awareness for Youth Suicide Prevention Act," or RAYS Act, proposes to amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to enhance access to mental health and suicide prevention resources for students. It requires local educational agencies (LEAs) that receive federal funds and issue identification cards to secondary school students to include specific contact information on those cards. This critical information must include the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline , the Crisis Text Line , and a relevant state or local suicide prevention hotline. For LEAs that do not issue physical identification cards to secondary students, the bill mandates that this contact information be prominently displayed on the agency's publicly accessible website and integrated into computer portals and software platforms regularly used by students. The Secretary of Education is also directed to conduct outreach and awareness campaigns, in coordination with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, to inform students, parents, and school personnel about these mental health resources, ensuring the information is accessible to individuals with disabilities.
