The bill enacts R.S. 17:1819, which mandates public postsecondary education institutions in Louisiana to enhance their suicide prevention initiatives. Institutions are required to post critical information on their websites, including the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline number "988" and local or state suicide prevention hotline numbers. Additionally, this information must be printed on student identification cards. The bill also stipulates that institutions must provide incoming students with information about mental health services and early warning signs of suicide, utilizing interactive formats rather than solely paper-based materials. Furthermore, trained mental health professionals must be available to students 24/7, either on campus or remotely.

Moreover, the bill requires these institutions to develop a system for collecting and reporting data on suicide risk assessments. This data must include the total number of assessments conducted annually, along with demographic information such as race, ethnicity, and gender, while ensuring that all collected data is aggregated and nonidentifiable to protect student privacy. The legislation aims to implement recommendations from the Task Force on African American Suicide Rates, thereby addressing the critical issue of suicide prevention among students in Louisiana.
