Creates a federal competitive grant program to pay for installing evidence-based suicide deterrents (for example, nets and barriers) at specified high-risk locations. The Department of Transportation must set up the program within one year, award grants to States, local governments and other eligible entities, cover up to 80% of project costs, and the law authorizes $10 million per year for fiscal years 2026–2030 to carry out the program.
Also requires a Comptroller General study on how well nets, barriers, and other measures prevent suicide‑by‑jumping at structures other than bridges, with a report to relevant congressional committees within one year. The bill includes an unspecified amendment to 23 U.S.C. 119(d)(2)(I); the text of that change is not provided in the available document.
Referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
