9–8–8 Lifeline Cybersecurity Responsibility Act

This bill requires the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (9-8-8) program to strengthen cybersecurity protections. It mandates coordination with the Department of Health and Human Services' Chief Information Security Officer to address vulnerabilities, and requires network administrators receiving federal funding to report cybersecurity incidents or vulnerabilities to the Assistant Secretary. The bill also directs a study by the Comptroller General within 180 days to evaluate cybersecurity risks for the lifeline program. These provisions directly affect the 9-8-8 program and its federally funded operators, aiming to prevent disruptions to this critical suicide prevention service.
