(1) The
governing board of any state institution of higher education is authorized to
promulgate rules establishing a system of identification of students, faculty, and
staff that may include provisions for penalties other than criminal penalties and
provisions for disciplinary action for failure to display one's identification card upon
request by an authorized official, possession of a false identification card, and
alteration of an identification card. The authorized officials of such institution have
authority to detain a person upon the property under the control of the institution
for the purpose of obtaining proper identification if such person refuses to display
the person's identification card or otherwise give adequate identification upon
request by an authorized official.

(2) Each student identification card issued after August 1, 2023, to a public
or private postsecondary school student must include information on the national
three-digit suicide and crisis lifeline number 988. The public or private
postsecondary school may include information about other available crisis services
and other services on the identification card, including local campus crisis and
suicide prevention numbers. The public or private postsecondary school is not
required to reprint or reissue identification cards in use before August 1, 2023. If, at
any time, a private or public postsecondary school has current students still using
identification cards without the information required by this section, the school
shall distribute information on the national three-digit suicide and crisis lifeline
number 988 to all students at the beginning of each school semester or trimester
until all students have identification cards with the required information. If a private
or public postsecondary school does not issue or use student identification cards,
the school shall distribute the information on the national three-digit suicide and
crisis lifeline number 988 to all students at the beginning of each school semester
or trimester.
