Plain-English Summary

This bill would require the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline—the national phone number people call for mental health emergencies—to meet stronger cybersecurity standards to protect callers' personal information and prevent data breaches. The measure would establish security requirements and oversight to ensure that the sensitive health data collected from people seeking crisis support is kept safe from hackers and unauthorized access. This affects both the lifeline operators and the millions of Americans who use the service during mental health emergencies.
