Rule 19(a) / Re-referred to Rules Committee
Summary
The bill changes Illinois law so that 911 public safety answering points must use approved screening protocols to identify callers in behavioral health crises and refer them to mental‑health responders instead of police. It also directs regional advisory committees to review crisis‑response resources and plan additional mobile mental‑health services, and updates police training to include community response options. The goal is to reduce unnecessary law‑enforcement involvement and improve data collection on mental‑health emergencies.
