Utah Lawmakers Celebrate Bill Improving Suicide Hotline

The National Suicide Prevention Hotline will soon be reachable by a three-digit dialing code, similar to 911. Utah Senator Orrin Hatch and Congressman Chris Stewart helped craft the bill, which received overwhelming support from both parties and was signed by President Trump last week. At the State Capitol today, Congressman Chris Stewart, Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox, Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes, Utah State Senator Daniel Thatcher, and Utah Rep. Steve Eliason gathered to celebrate the passing of the National Suicide Prevention Hotline Improvement Act of 2018.
