HR 3624 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Improving Mental Health Access for Students Act
To add suicide prevention resources to school identification cards.
Summary
The Improving Mental Health Access for Students Act requires colleges and universities to include suicide prevention contact information on student identification cards. Institutions must provide phone numbers for the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, the Crisis Text Line, and their campus mental health center or program on student IDs. For institutions that do not issue identification cards, the same suicide prevention contact information must be published on the institution's website. If either the 988 Lifeline or Crisis Text Line ceases to operate, the Secretary of Education may designate a similar organization to replace it on the cards or website. The requirement takes effect one year after the bill is enacted.
