988 Lifeline Location Improvement Act of 2025

Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 379.

2026-04-22

This bill would improve the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by making sure that when someone calls or texts 988, the system can more accurately identify their location so emergency responders can reach them faster if needed. The changes would help the lifeline's call centers better pinpoint where callers are located, which is especially important for people in crisis who may not be able to clearly communicate their address. This affects anyone who might use the crisis service, as well as the call centers and emergency services that respond to these calls.
