Improving Mental Health Access for Students Act
Sponsored By: Representative Correa, J. Luis [D-CA-46]
Introduced
Summary
Adds suicide-prevention contact info to student ID cards and campus websites. This bill would amend the Higher Education Act to require every student ID card an institution creates and distributes to include the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, the Crisis Text Line, and a campus mental health center or program contact. Institutions that do not issue ID cards would publish the same contacts on their websites. If 988 or the Crisis Text Line cease to exist, the Secretary of Education could designate a similar replacement. The requirement would take effect one year after enactment.

Hotline numbers on college student IDs
If enacted, colleges that issue student ID cards after the requirement starts would need to print the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, the Crisis Text Line, and a campus mental health contact on each card. Schools that do not issue new IDs would need to post the same contact info on their website. This would begin one year after enactment. If 988 or the Crisis Text Line stops operating, the Secretary could choose a similar service to list.
