9–8–8 Connect Act

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.
