The section directs the Comptroller General to complete, within 180 days of enactment, a study evaluating cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities associated with the 9-8-8 National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, and to report the findings to the Senate health committee and the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
What the document actually says
“Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General of the United States shall--”
That sentence, in plain words
A government watchdog must do a study. It is due within 180 days. The study looks at risks to the 9-8-8 line.
What this is about
The Comptroller General leads a watchdog office. That office checks how federal money is spent. What it finds goes to Congress.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
