Improving Mental Health Access for Students Act
HR 2802, the Improving Mental Health Access for Students Act, requires colleges and universities to include suicide prevention contact information on student identification cards.

Schools that don't issue ID cards must post this information on their websites instead. The requirement takes effect one year after the bill's enactment.
