Plain-English Summary
The government would study why it's difficult to send location information when people call the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, which helps people in mental health emergencies reach counselors quickly. The Federal Communications Commission would investigate the technical problems, and a government watchdog agency would recommend solutions to make sure crisis counselors can pinpoint callers' locations more reliably. This would help emergency responders reach people in crisis faster and potentially save lives.
