Connects the 9-8-8 suicide prevention line with 9-1-1 emergency services.
The problem
People in crisis call different numbers. The 9-8-8 suicide line and 9-1-1 emergency line don't always work together smoothly. This can cause delays in helping people.
The proposal
The bill requires 9-8-8 and 9-1-1 systems to share information and coordinate better. Emergency responders can access 9-8-8 call data to help people faster.
The impact
People in crisis get faster help. Mental health workers and paramedics coordinate better. Telecommunication companies must upgrade their systems.
When 9-8-8 and 9-1-1 work together, emergency responders know more about the person's situation. They can reach people faster and with better information about what they need.
Mental health counselors and paramedics can share information in real time. This means people won't have to repeat their story multiple times to different people.
Studies show that faster response to suicide crises saves lives. Better coordination between mental health and emergency services can prevent deaths.
People in crisis won't have to guess which number to call. A unified system makes it simpler and faster to get help.
Telephone companies must spend money to connect the two systems. This could cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Companies might pass these costs to customers.
Sharing 9-8-8 calls with 9-1-1 means more people can access sensitive mental health information. There are risks that private information could be misused or leaked.
Some 9-1-1 centers are already understaffed. Adding 9-8-8 calls could overload them. Rural areas with fewer resources may struggle the most.
People might avoid calling 9-8-8 if they fear police involvement. Some people in crisis need mental health help, not armed officers. This could actually reduce help-seeking.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
