What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill would bring back a special option within the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline that was designed to help LGBTQ+ young people in crisis. Previously, callers under 25 could press 3 when calling the lifeline to reach counselors trained to support LGBTQ+ youth, but that service was shut down in 2025. The bill would require the federal agency that runs the lifeline to restart and keep running these specialized services. It would also set aside a minimum portion of the lifeline's funding specifically for these LGBTQ+ youth services.
