In plain language

The bill enhances 9-1-1 protocols for handling mental health emergencies.

This bill updates the Community Emergency Services and Support Act to improve how 9-1-1 services address behavioral health crises. It establishes protocols for identifying these emergencies and ensures consistent response across public safety answering points.

What this means for you
  • Workers: If you're a first responder, this means you'll have new protocols to follow for mental health emergencies.
  • Families: For families in crisis, improved 9-1-1 protocols aim to provide better responses to mental health emergencies.
  • Healthcare: Healthcare providers may benefit from a more organized approach to mental health crisis management through emergency services.

Summary

Replaces all references to the Division of Mental Health of the Department of Human Services with the Department of Human Services throughout the Act.

Provides that 9-1-1 public safety answering points shall open and follow the emergency medical dispatch protocols established under the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Systems Act at the start of all emergency calls to ensure the protocols are used and applied consistently and uniformly to ensure that information related to behavioral health emergency calls is available for data collection and can be used to determine which calls should be referred for a behavioral health response. Provides that, among other things, each Regional Advisory Committee or subregional committee must (1) review regional and subregional crisis response system capacities and resources to inform planning and implementation and to foster collaboration across all sectors of the system and (2) determine the need for and make a plan to support local communities to develop and use other resources to create additional mobile mental health relief provider services to expand the capacity to provide more immediate service coverage.
