Mental Health Access: Crisis Contact Information Required on Student IDs.
This law mandates that colleges and universities must print essential contact information for suicide prevention organizations and campus mental health services directly onto student identification cards. If an institution does not issue ID cards, it must prominently publish this information on its website. This change ensures students have immediate access to critical support resources during a mental health crisis.
Key points
Student ID cards will feature contact numbers for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and the Crisis Text Line.
The requirement applies to all institutions of higher education and takes effect one year after the law is passed, enhancing student safety.
