this bipartisan legislation builds on that work by increasing awareness of and access to these vital services. By leveraging the reach of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, we can connect more teens and young adults with the support they need, ensure they know help is available, and reach more young people before a crisis becomes a tragedy.

Trahan backs the Campus Lifeline Act, which would broaden 988 visibility and expand suicide prevention grant uses for student-led early intervention.

Evidence

Congress.gov lists H.R.7666 as passed in the House 402-20 on June 22, 2022 and referred to the Senate. Its table of contents includes Crisis Care Services and 9-8-8 Implementation, Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Reauthorization, and Mental health and substance use disorder services for students in higher education.

Official bill text shows a concrete federal legislative vehicle covering 988 implementation, youth suicide prevention, and higher-education mental health grants; it passed the House but did not itself become law in that form.

House roll call vote 286 was final passage of H.R.7666, Restoring Hope for Mental Health and Well-Being Act of 2022; the bill passed 402-20. Representative Lori Trahan is recorded as voting Yea.

Trahan supported the main House bill that included 988 implementation and youth/campus suicide-prevention and mental-health provisions.

The bill text reauthorized the suicide prevention technical assistance center at $9,000,000 for fiscal years 2023-2027, youth suicide early intervention and prevention strategies at $40,000,000 for fiscal years 2023-2027, and extended mental health and substance use disorder services for students in higher education through 2027.

This supports the grant-expansion portion of the promise, especially youth suicide prevention and higher-education mental health services, but it does not establish the student-ID or driver-license 988-awareness components.

Congress.gov identifies S.2661 as the National Suicide Hotline Designation Act of 2020, enacted as Public Law 116-172, establishing 988 as the universal telephone number for the national suicide prevention and mental health crisis hotline system.

The national 988 hotline was delivered before the later House youth/campus package; this satisfies the existence of 988 but not the promised awareness placement on student IDs or driver licenses.

Public Law 117-328 incorporated mental-health and suicide-prevention reauthorizations, including Garrett Lee Smith youth suicide prevention and higher-education student mental-health provisions for fiscal years 2023-2027.

Some of the grant and youth-suicide-prevention substance advanced in H.R.7666 was enacted in the 2023 omnibus, supporting partial fulfillment of the grant/resource portion of the promise.

HHS/SAMHSA announced that the United States would transition to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline on July 16, 2022, providing an easier-to-remember three-digit number for suicide prevention and mental health crisis support.

Official implementation evidence confirms 988 became operational nationwide, but it does not show federal action requiring 988 information on student IDs or driver licenses.

The official H.R.7666 text contains crisis-care, 988 implementation, Garrett Lee Smith, youth suicide prevention, and higher-education student mental-health provisions, but the reviewed bill text did not include a requirement to place 988 information on student identification cards or driver licenses.

The specific awareness-on-IDs/licenses portion is not proven delivered by the main federal legislation Trahan supported, so the overall promise is only partially fulfilled on the available official record.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

The record supports partial fulfillment. During Trahan's federal House term, she voted for H.R.7666, which included 988 implementation, Garrett Lee Smith youth suicide-prevention reauthorization, and higher-education student mental-health provisions. Some youth suicide-prevention and campus mental-health grant/resource provisions were later incorporated into Public Law 117-328 for FY2023-FY2027, and 988 became operational nationally in 2022. However, the evidence does not show enactment of the specific federal requirement to place 988 awareness information on student IDs or drivers' licenses, so the full promise was not delivered. Her vote for the House bill counts as a serious legislative effort.
