We have received text from H.R. 10991: Suicide Prevention for At-Risk K-12 Students Act. This bill was received on 2026-11-11, and currently has 9 cosponsors.

Here is a short summary of the bill:

This bill would create a new federal grant program to help school districts and other local education agencies adopt youth suicide prevention programs for students ages 10 to 20.

What the federal government would do

  • The Secretary of Health and Human Services would have to set up the grant program within 1 year after the bill becomes law.
  • The department would identify suicide prevention programs that are:
    • aimed at youth ages 10 to 20,
    • based on evidence, and
    • designed to be culturally responsive.
  • The department would publish a list of approved programs and issue standards for how they should be carried out.
  • The department would also provide technical assistance to schools that receive grants.

What schools would have to do to get a grant

To apply, a school district would need to submit information showing:

  • which student groups may be at higher risk for suicide or self-harm;
  • research on the cultural background of the community it serves;
  • which approved program it plans to use; and
  • a commitment to start the program within 120 days of receiving the grant, run it in a culturally competent way, and evaluate how well it works.

How the grant money could be used

Grant recipients would have to use the money to:

  • implement an approved suicide prevention program;
  • train school staff on youth suicide prevention; and
  • evaluate the program’s results.

Other requirements

  • Grants could last no more than 2 years for each school district.
  • School districts would have to report to the Secretary within 1 year of receiving a grant, and then every year after that during the grant period.
  • Those reports would have to describe the program’s results and include data needed for evaluation.
  • Within 4 years, the Secretary would have to report to Congress on the standards used, the results of the grant program, and whether it should continue.
  • If no grants are awarded within 2 years, the Secretary would have to explain to Congress why not.

Funding

The bill would authorize $15 million per year for the program.
