18	18	7 Sec. 30. State prohibitions. 9-1-1 PSAPs, emergency
19	19	8 services dispatched through 9-1-1 PSAPs, and the mobile mental
20	20	9 and behavioral health service established by the Division of
21	21	10 Mental Health must coordinate their services so that, based on
22	22	11 the information provided to them, the following State
23	23	12 prohibitions are avoided:
24	24	13 (a) Law enforcement responsibility for providing mental
25	25	14 and behavioral health care. In any area where mobile mental
26	26	15 health relief providers are available for dispatch, law
27	27	16 enforcement shall not be dispatched to respond to an
28	28	17 individual requiring mental or behavioral health care unless
29	29	18 that individual is (i) involved in a suspected violation of
30	30	19 the criminal laws of this State, or (ii) presents a threat of
31	31	20 physical injury to self or others. Mobile mental health relief
32	32	21 providers are not considered available for dispatch under this
33	33	22 Section if 9-8-8 reports that it cannot dispatch appropriate

71	71	1 Regional Advisory Committee under Section 45.
72	72	2 (1) Standing on its own or in combination with each
73	73	3 other, the fact that an individual is experiencing a
74	74	4 mental or behavioral health emergency, or has a mental
75	75	5 health, behavioral health, or other diagnosis, is not
76	76	6 sufficient to justify an assessment that the individual is
77	77	7 a threat of physical injury to self or others, or requires
78	78	8 a law enforcement response to a request for emergency
79	79	9 response or medical transportation.
80	80	10 (2) If, based on its assessment of the threat to
81	81	11 public safety, law enforcement would not accompany medical
82	82	12 transportation responding to a physical health emergency,
83	83	13 unless requested by mobile mental health relief providers,
84	84	14 law enforcement may not accompany emergency response or
85	85	15 medical transportation personnel responding to a mental or
86	86	16 behavioral health emergency that presents an equivalent
87	87	17 level of threat to self or public safety.
88	88	18 (3) Without regard to an assessment of threat to self
89	89	19 or threat to public safety, law enforcement may station
90	90	20 personnel so that they can rapidly respond to requests for
91	91	21 assistance from mobile mental health relief providers if
92	92	22 law enforcement does not interfere with the provision of
93	93	23 emergency response or transportation services. To the
94	94	24 extent practical, not interfering with services includes
95	95	25 remaining sufficiently distant from or out of sight of the
96	96	26 individual receiving care so that law enforcement presence

107	107	1 is unlikely to escalate the emergency.
108	108	2 (b) Mobile mental health relief provider involvement in
109	109	3 involuntary commitment. In order to maintain the appropriate
110	110	4 care relationship, mobile mental health relief providers shall
111	111	5 not in any way assist in the involuntary commitment of an
112	112	6 individual beyond (i) reporting to their dispatching entity or
113	113	7 to law enforcement that they believe the situation requires
114	114	8 assistance the mobile mental health relief providers are not
115	115	9 permitted to provide under this Section; (ii) providing
116	116	10 witness statements; and (iii) fulfilling reporting
117	117	11 requirements the mobile mental health relief providers may
118	118	12 have under their professional ethical obligations or laws of
119	119	13 this State. This prohibition shall not interfere with any
120	120	14 mobile mental health relief provider's ability to provide
121	121	15 physical or mental health care.
122	122	16 (c) Use of law enforcement for transportation. In any area
123	123	17 where mobile mental health relief providers are available for
124	124	18 dispatch, unless requested by mobile mental health relief
125	125	19 providers, law enforcement shall not be used to provide
126	126	20 transportation to access mental or behavioral health care, or
127	127	21 travel between mental or behavioral health care providers,
128	128	22 except where no alternative is available.
129	129	23 (d) Reduction of educational institution obligations. The
130	130	24 services coordinated under this Act may not be used to replace
131	131	25 any service an educational institution is required to provide
132	132	26 to a student. It shall not substitute for appropriate special

152	152	10 9-1-1 PSAP; coordination of activities with mobile and
153	153	11 behavioral health services. Each 9-1-1 PSAP and emergency
154	154	12 service dispatched through a 9-1-1 PSAP must begin
155	155	13 coordinating its activities with the mobile mental and
156	156	14 behavioral health services established by the Division of
157	157	15 Mental Health once all 3 of the following conditions are met,

162	162	20 operating in Illinois;
163	163	21 (2) the appropriate Regional Advisory Committee has
164	164	22 completed design of the specific 9-1-1 PSAP's process for
