The National Suicide Hotline Designation Act has been unanimously passed by the U.S. House of Representatives.
The legislation was co-authored by Kansas Senator Jerry Moran, who applauded its passage. It was introduced by Moran, as well as Senators Cory Gardner (R-Colo.), Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), and Jack Reed (D-R.I.).
It will make 9-8-8 the national Suicide Prevention Hotline and the Veterans Crisis Line.
While it is being finalized, those seeking help should still call 1-800-273-8255.
