MOBILE MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS

Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes. Provides that a mobile crisis response team may provide transportation if the mobile crisis response team is appropriately equipped and staffed to do so. Provides that, in any area where mobile mental health relief providers are available for dispatch, unless requested by mobile mental health relief providers, law enforcement shall not be used to provide transportation to access mental or behavioral health care, or travel between mental or behavioral health care providers, except where (i) no alternative is available; (ii) the individual requests transportation from law enforcement and law enforcement mutually agrees to provide transportation; or (iii) the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code requires or permits law enforcement to provide transportation (rather than the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code requires law enforcement to provide transportation). Removes changes to provisions concerning immunity.
