Summary
The RAYS Act amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act so that any public school that issues ID cards must list the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, the Crisis Text Line, and a state or local suicide‑prevention hotline. Schools that do not issue ID cards must post the same information online and on student‑used software platforms. The goal is to give students quick access to mental‑health help and reduce youth suicide.
