College Students Continuation of Mental Health Care Act of 2025

Sponsored By: Representative Flood, Mike [R-NE-1]

Introduced

Summary

This bill would allow college mental health providers to deliver telehealth across state lines under their home‑state license, with specific safety checks and limits on what host States may prohibit. It creates a federal permission framework so campus clinicians can reach students located outside the institution’s State while aligning liability and practice scope with the provider’s primary State.

College telehealth across state lines

This bill would let your college’s mental health providers treat you by telehealth when you are in another State, unless that State has barred them. You would need to be enrolled, or have attended the school within the last 3 months. Before care, the provider would verify your identity, record your OK to get telehealth, and keep more than one way to reach you. If you are new to the provider, they would get a written note that a treatment relationship is starting or use live audio or video. Care would follow the provider’s home-State license, but they could not give services your State forbids or do them in a way your State bans. Malpractice coverage would treat the care as if done in the provider’s home State. States could also form compacts to allow this, and audio-visual, audio-only, and store-and-forward would all count as telehealth.
