Evidence

Action: Mr. Banks (for himself, Ms. Smith, Mrs. Capito, Ms. Klobuchar, Mr. Kaine, Ms. Duckworth, Mrs. Gillibrand, Mr. Booker, and Mr. Wyden) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. Full title: To amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to require local educational agencies to include mental health and suicide prevention information on student identification cards, and for other purposes.

Banks formally introduced a Senate bill that would require schools to put suicide-prevention information on student IDs, matching the core policy of the promise, but the bill was only introduced and referred to committee.

Today, Senators Jim Banks (R-Ind.) and Tina Smith (D-Minn.) introduced the Raising Awareness for Youth Suicide Prevention (RAYS) Act, which would require middle and high schools to include the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and relevant suicide prevention information on student IDs.

Banks publicly announced and backed legislation implementing the student-ID 988 requirement, showing concrete follow-through on the promise, though not final enactment.

The official bill record for S. 4061 shows Jim Banks introduced legislation to require middle and high schools to include the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and related suicide-prevention information on student IDs, and the measure was referred to committee.

This is a concrete legislative attempt matching the promise, but it documents introduction and referral only, not enactment or implementation.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

Banks materially pursued the promise by introducing the RAYS Act in the Senate on March 11, 2026, and the bill’s text matched the pledge to require middle and high schools to place 988 and suicide-prevention information on student IDs. But the evidence only shows introduction and referral to committee, with no enactment or implementation. Under the stated rule, a serious legislative attempt without the promised outcome counts as never, with an effort badge.

never same_term A for effort

Banks introduced and publicly backed the RAYS Act in the 119th Congress to require middle and high schools to include the 988 Lifeline and suicide-prevention information on student IDs. That is a serious legislative attempt and closely matches the promised policy, but the evidence shows only introduction and committee referral, not enactment or implementation. Because the promised requirement has not been delivered, the outcome is not fulfilled, with effort credit for the bill introduction during the same Senate term.
