988 Lifeline Location Improvement Act of 2023

This bill establishes a federal committee to study how to improve the transmission of accurate location information for calls to the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, particularly affecting people in rural or small communities who may struggle to get emergency responders to their exact location. The committee, composed of representatives from telecom companies, crisis centers, public safety agencies, and state/local governments, will examine privacy concerns, technical standards for sending location data, and potential costs for service providers. It must submit a report within one year with recommendations for potential future legislation to address these location challenges. The bill itself does not change current law but sets up a study to inform future policy.
