A bill for an act relating to the inclusion of the internet address for the your life Iowa program or successor program on public school student identification cards and including applicability provisions.
HSB 608 requires Iowa public schools issuing physical or electronic student ID cards to students in grades 6 through 12 to include the crisis hotline numbers and the internet address for the Your Life Iowa suicide prevention program (or its successor) on the cards. Schools may optionally include this information on ID cards for students in grade 5. The bill mandates that physical cards display the information directly on the card, while electronic cards must include a clickable link to the program's website. This applies to all new ID cards issued on or after the bill's effective date, with schools allowed to use existing unused physical card stock before complying.
