As my colleague from Kentucky explained, this is a very important piece of legislation to make people aware of this 988 number to prevent suicide. Madam Speaker, I would urge my colleagues on a bipartisan basis to support this bill, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Pallone) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 2862, as amended. The question was taken. The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.
