The Secretary of Health and Human Services (referred to in this section as the Secretary ), in consultation with the Attorney General, shall convene a panel for the purposes of making recommendations for training and protocol for 9–1–1 dispatchers to respond appropriately to individuals experiencing a behavioral health crisis based on the characteristics of the incident and the needs of the caller. The Secretary shall appoint individuals to serve staggered 10-year terms on the panel established under subsection (a).
Such individuals shall include— psychiatrists; paramedics and other emergency medical services personnel; law enforcement officers and 9–1–1 dispatchers; representatives from each segment of the crisis response continuum, including 9–8–8 dispatchers; members of underserved communities including ethnic and racial minority groups and sexual orientation and gender minority groups; representatives from Tribes or Tribal organizations; and other individuals, as the Secretary determines appropriate.
In issuing recommendations under this section, the panel shall consider— connecting 9–1–1 callers to crisis care services instead of responding with law enforcement officers; integrating the 9–8–8 system into the 9–1–1 system, or transferring calls from the 9–1–1 system to the 9–8–8 system as appropriate; and a process for identifying 9–1–1 callers who may be experiencing psychiatric symptoms or a mental health crisis, substance use crisis, or co-occurring crisis and evaluating the level of need of such callers, as defined by relevant, standardized assessment tools such as the Level of Care Utilization System (LOCUS), the Child and Adolescent Level of Care Utilization System (CALOCUS), and the American Society of Addiction Medicine
(ASAM)Criteria. The panel shall update recommendations issued under this section not less frequently than every 5 years.
