§ 50. Regional Advisory Committee responsibilities. Each Regional Advisory Committee and subregional committee established by the Regional Advisory Committee are responsible for designing the local protocols to allow its region's or subregion's 9-1-1 call centers and emergency responders to coordinate their activities with 9-8-8 as required by this Act and monitoring current operation to advise on ongoing adjustments to the local protocols. A subregional committee, which may be convened by a majority vote of a Regional Advisory Committee, must include members that are representative of all required categories of the full Regional Advisory Committee and must provide guidance to the Regional Advisory Committees on adjustments that need to be made for local level operationalization of protocols. Included in this responsibility, each Regional Advisory Committee or subregional committee must:
(1) negotiate the appropriate amendment of each 9-1-1 PSAP emergency dispatch protocols, in consultation with each 9-1-1 PSAP in the EMS Region and consistent with national certification requirements;
(2) set maximum response times for 9-8-8 to provide service when an in-person response is required, based on type of mental or behavioral health emergency, which, if exceeded, constitute grounds for sending other emergency responders through the 9-1-1 system;
(3) report, geographically by police district if practical, the data collected through the direction provided by the Statewide Advisory Committee in aggregated, non-individualized monthly reports. These reports shall be available to the Regional Advisory Committee members, subregional committee members, the Department of Human Service Division of Mental Health, the Administrator of the 9-1-1 Authority, and to the public upon request;
(4) convene, after the initial regional policies are established, at least every 2 years to consider amendment of the regional policies, if any, and also convene whenever a member of the Committee requests that the Committee or subregional committee consider an amendment; and
(5) identify regional resources and supports for use by the mobile mental health relief providers as they respond to the requests for services.
