Dossier Legislative introduced 26-mar-2026
Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

9–8–8 Connect Act

Key claim: HR8122, the 9-8-8 Connect Act, was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce in the 119th Congress.

Abstract

(HR8122 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-03-26): Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Why this matters

The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is a parallel emergency-communications regime to 911, and legislation shaping its routing, carrier obligations, or funding directly affects how voice providers handle designated three-digit codes. Tracking bills like HR8122 at the referral stage establishes a baseline for later assessing consumer access and carrier compliance burdens if provisions advance.
