AB 727, Student ID Card Requirements Webinar 08/27/2026
10:00 am - 11:00 am
Adherence with the implementation of Chapter 483, an update to Section 215.5 of the Education Code related to student identification cards
Requirement:
AB 727, enacted in October 2025, amended Section 215.5 of the Education Code to update the list of required resources listed on student identification cards for students in grades 7-12 of public and charter schools, and public institutions of higher education. This update follows the 2024 enactment of Senate Bill 1063, which now requires student identification cards of students in grades 7-12 in public, charter, and private schools to display the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline number.
Details:
Beginning in July 2026, student identification cards of students enrolled in public or charter schools in grades 7-12 and public institutions of higher education shall include information about The Trevor Project’s LGBTQ+ suicide prevention Lifeline. This information is to be displayed as:
Telephone number: 1-866-488-7386.
Text line, which can be accessed by texting START to 678-678.
Background:
● The Trevor Project is the leading suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ+ youth. They provide 24/7 crisis care for LGBTQ+ young people who reach their free, confidential, and secure talk, chat, and text services.
● LGBTQ+ young people are 4 times more likely to attempt suicide than their straight, cisgender peers. It’s important to note that LGBTQ+ young people are not inherently at a greater risk for suicide, but rather are placed at a higher risk of adverse mental health outcomes due to mistreatment and stigmatization.
