Bill overview
The Barriers to Suicide Act of 2023 aims to prevent suicides by providing grants to states and local governments to install evidence-based suicide deterrents, such as nets and barriers, on bridges. The Department of Transportation will administer a competitive grant program prioritizing areas with high suicide rates. Additionally, the bill directs a study to identify effective suicide prevention methods for structures other than bridges and assess the costs and effectiveness of various deterrents.
