(Columbia, SC) -- South Carolina lawmakers are advancing a bill to get the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline in front of adolescents.
A bill approved unanimously by the House and Senate would put that phone number on student identification cards.
Public schools will also be required to include information for a second crisis hotline number of the schools' choosing.
If Governor McMaster signs the bill into law, the new rules will go into effect in July of 2022.
