California AB727 requires schools to print mental health resources on student IDs.

California AB727 amends the Education Code to require schools to print mental health resources on student IDs.

Starting October 1, 2020, these schools and institutions must also print the Trevor Project's LGBTQ+ suicide hotline number and text line. The bill aims to provide students with access to mental health resources and support, especially for LGBTQ+ students who face bullying and discrimination.
