        introduced (by request) in the House by the majority leader of 
        the House or by Members of the House designated by the majority 
        leader of the House.
            (2) Not in session.--If either House is not in session on 
        the day on which such legislative proposal is submitted, the 
        legislative proposal shall be introduced in that House, as

        which that House is in session.
            (3) Any member.--If the legislative proposal is not 
        introduced in either House within 5 days on which that House is 
        in session after the day on which the legislative proposal is

            (1) Consideration.--On or after the third day after the 
        date on which the committee to which such a bill is referred 
        has reported, or has been discharged (under subsection (b)) 
        from further consideration of, such a bill, it is in order

        announcement if the motion is made by direction of the 
        committee to which the bill was referred. The motion is highly

        House until disposed of.
            (2) Debate.--Debate on the bill, and on all debatable 
        motions and appeals in connection therewith, shall be limited

        between those favoring and those opposing the bill. An 
        amendment to the bill is not in order. A motion further to 
        limit debate is in order and not debatable. A motion to 
        postpone, or a motion to proceed to the consideration of other 
        business, or a motion to recommit the bill is not in order. A 
        motion to reconsider the vote by which the bill is agreed to or 
        disagreed to is not in order.
            (3) Vote on final passage.--Immediately following the 
        conclusion of the debate on the bill and a single quorum call 
        at the conclusion of the debate if requested in accordance with 
        the rules of the appropriate House, the vote on final passage 
        of the bill shall occur.

        a bill of that House described in subsection (b), that House 
        receives from the other House a bill described in subsection 
        (b), then the following procedures shall apply--
                    (A) the bill of the other House shall not be 
                referred to a committee and may not be considered in 
                the House receiving it except in the case of final 
                passage as provided in subparagraph (B)(ii); and
                    (B) with respect to a bill described in subsection 
                (b) of the House receiving the bill (i) the procedure 
                in that House shall be the same as if no bill had been 
                received from the other House; but (ii) the vote on 
                final passage shall be on the bill of the other House.
            (2) After passage.--Upon disposition of the bill received 
        from the other House, it shall no longer be in order to 
        consider the bill that originated in the receiving House.

Congress--
            (1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate 
        and House of Representatives, respectively, and as such it is 
        deemed a part of the rules of each House, respectively, but 
        applicable only with respect to the procedure to be followed in 
        that House in the case of a bill described in subsection (b), 
        and it supersedes other rules only to the extent that it is 
        inconsistent with such rules; and
            (2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of 
        either House to change the rules (so far as relating to the 
        procedure of that House) at any time, in the same manner, and 
        to the same extent as in the case of any other rule of that 
        House.

national suicide data and data collected from the Veterans Crisis Line.
    (b) Matters Included.--The study under subsection (a) shall address 
the following:
            (1) The efficacy of the Veterans Crisis Line in leading 
        veterans to sustained mental health regimens, by determining--
                    (A) the number of veterans who, after contacting 
                the Veterans Crisis Line and being referred to a 
                suicide prevention specialist, begin and continue 
                mental health care furnished by the Secretary of 
                Veterans Affairs; and
                    (B) the number of veterans who, after contacting 
                the Veterans Crisis Line and being referred to a 
                suicide prevention specialist, either--
                            (i) begin mental health care furnished by 
                        the Secretary but do not continue such care; or
                            (ii) do not begin such care.
            (2) The visibility of the Veterans Crisis Line, by 
        determining--
                    (A) the number of veterans who contact the Veterans 
                Crisis Line and have not previously received hospital 
                care or medical services furnished by the Secretary; 
                and
                    (B) the number of veterans who contact the Veterans 
                Crisis Line and have previously received hospital care 
                or medical services furnished by the Secretary.
            (3) The role of the Veterans Crisis Line as part of the 
        mental health care services of the Department, by determining, 
        of the veterans who are enrolled in the health care system 
        established under section 1705(a) of title 38, United States 
        Code, who contact the Veterans Crisis Line, the number who are 
        under the care of a mental health care provider of the 
        Department at the time of such contact.
            (4) Whether receiving sustained mental health care affects 
        suicidality and whether veterans previously receiving mental 
        health care furnished by the Secretary use the Veterans Crisis 
        Line in times of crisis, with respect to the veterans described 
        in paragraph (3), by determining the time frame between 
        receiving such care and the time of such contact.
            (5) The effectiveness of the Veterans Crisis Line in 
        assisting veterans at risk for suicide when the Veterans Crisis 
        Line is contacted by a non-veteran, by determining, of the 
        number of non-veterans who contact the Veterans Crisis Line 
        looking for support in assisting a veteran, how many of such 
        individuals receive support in having a veteran begin to 
        receive mental health care furnished by the Secretary.
            (6) The overall efficacy of the Veterans Crisis Line in 
        preventing suicides and whether the number of contacts affects 
        the efficacy, by determining--

                contact the Veterans Crisis Line prior to committing or 
                attempting suicide.
            (7) The long-term efficacy of the Veterans Crisis Line in 
        preventing repeated suicide attempts and whether the efficacy 
        is temporary, by determining, of the number of veterans who 
        contacted the Veterans Crisis Line and did not commit or 
        attempt suicide during the following 6-month period, the number 
        who contacted the Veterans Crisis Line in crisis at a later 
        time and thereafter did commit or attempt suicide.
            (8) Whether referral to mental health care affects the risk 
        of suicide, by determining--
                    (A) the number of veterans who contact the Veterans 
                Crisis Line who are not referred to, or do not continue 
                receiving, mental health care who commit suicide; and
                    (B) the number of veterans described in paragraph 
                (1)(A) who commit or attempt suicide.
            (9) The efficacy of the Veterans Crisis Line to promote 
        continued mental health care in those veterans who are at high 
        risk for suicide whose suicide was prevented, by determining, 
        of the number of veterans who contacted the Veterans Crisis 
        Line and did not commit or attempt suicide soon thereafter, the 
        number that begin and continue to receive mental health care 
        furnished by the Secretary.
            (10) Such other matters as the Secretary determines 
        appropriate.
    (c) Rule of Construction Regarding Data Collection.--Nothing in 
this section may be construed to modify or affect the manner in which 
data is collected, or the kind or content of data collected, by the 
Secretary under the Veterans Crisis Line.
    (d) Submission.--Not later than May 31, 2019, the Secretary shall 
submit to the Committees on Veterans' Affairs of the House of 
Representatives and the Senate the study under subsection (a).
