The bill H. 4954 is a concurrent resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly, which requests the Department of Transportation to install signs on highway overpasses that display the words "988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline." This initiative aims to raise awareness among the traveling public about the 988 Lifeline, a resource that provides free and confidential emotional support to individuals in suicidal crisis or emotional distress, available 24/7 across the United States.

The resolution highlights the significance of the 988 Lifeline, which has answered over thirteen million calls, texts, and chats since its launch in July 2022, and emphasizes the positive impact it has had on individuals seeking help. By placing these signs, the General Assembly seeks to ensure that more people are informed about this critical mental health resource, ultimately aiming to enhance suicide prevention efforts and support for those in crisis.
