The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has issued a cost estimate for S. 3199, the 988 Lifeline Location Improvement Act of 2026, as ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation on February 12, 2026. The document provides an analysis of the potential budgetary impacts of the bill, which is intended to enhance the functionality and effectiveness of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by improving location identification capabilities.

This cost estimate serves as an informational document for legislative consideration. While it does not impose direct compliance obligations on regulated entities, it informs policymakers about the financial implications of the proposed law. Compliance officers should note the legislative context and potential future requirements that may arise if the bill is enacted, particularly concerning any mandates related to location services or emergency response infrastructure.
