18provide mobile mental and behavioral health services to all
19Illinoisans as part of the federally mandated adoption of the
209-8-8 phone number. The General Assembly also recognizes that
21many cities and some states have successfully established
22mobile emergency mental and behavioral health services as part
23of their emergency response system to support people who need
24such support and do not present a threat of physical violence
		SB3798 Enrolled	- 48 -	LRB104 20700 WRO 34200 b
1to the mobile mental health relief providers. In light of that
2experience, the General Assembly finds that in order to
3promote and protect the health, safety, and welfare of the
4public, it is necessary and in the public interest to provide
5emergency response, with or without medical transportation, to
6individuals requiring mental health or behavioral health
7services in a manner that is substantially equivalent to the
8response already provided to individuals who require emergency
9physical health care.
10    The General Assembly also recognizes the history of
11vulnerable populations being subject to unwarranted
12involuntary commitment or other human rights violations
13instead of receiving necessary care during acute crises which
14may contribute to an understandable apprehension of behavioral
15health services among individuals who have historically been
16subject to these practices. The General Assembly intends for
17the Mobile Mental Health Relief Providers regulated by this
18Act to assist with crises that do not rise to the level of
19involuntary commitment. However, the General Assembly also
20recognizes that Mobile Mental Health Relief Providers may,
21during the course of assisting with a crisis, encounter
22individuals who present an imminent threat of injury to
23themselves or others unless they receive assistance through
24the involuntary commitment process. This Act intends to
25balance concerns about misuse of the involuntary commitment
26process with the need for emergency care for individuals whose
		SB3798 Enrolled	- 49 -	LRB104 20700 WRO 34200 b
1crisis presents an imminent threat of injury.

14    (50 ILCS 754/20)
15    Sec. 20. Coordination with the Department [Division of ]
16[Mental Health].  Each 9-1-1 PSAP and provider of emergency
17services dispatched through a 9-1-1 system must coordinate
18with the mobile mental and behavioral health services
19established by the Department [Division of Mental Health] so
20that the following State goals and State prohibitions are met
21whenever a person interacts with one of these entities for the
22purpose of seeking emergency mental and behavioral health care
23or when one of these entities recognizes the appropriateness
24of providing mobile mental or behavioral health care to an
25individual with whom they have engaged. The Department
		SB3798 Enrolled	- 52 -	LRB104 20700 WRO 34200 b
1[Division of Mental Health] is also directed to provide guidance
2regarding whether and how these entities should coordinate
3with mobile mental and behavioral health services when
4responding to individuals who appear to be in a mental or
5behavioral health emergency while engaged in conduct alleged
6to constitute a non-violent misdemeanor.

8    (50 ILCS 754/25)
9    Sec. 25. State goals.
10    (a) 9-1-1 PSAPs, emergency services dispatched through
119-1-1 PSAPs, and the mobile mental and behavioral health
12service established by the Department [Division of Mental ]
13[Health] must coordinate their services so that the State goals
14listed in this Section are achieved. This coordination may be, 
15but is not required to be, accomplished through the use of 
16Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) or other similar agreements 
17with the intent of ensuring best practices of interoperability 
18and facilitating interagency cooperation. Appropriate mobile
19response service for mental and behavioral health emergencies
20shall be available regardless of whether the initial contact
21was with 9-8-8, with 9-1-1, or directly with an emergency
22service dispatched through 9-1-1. Appropriate mobile response
23services must:
24        (1) whenever possible, ensure that individuals
25    experiencing mental or behavioral health crises are
		SB3798 Enrolled	- 53 -	LRB104 20700 WRO 34200 b
1    diverted from hospitalization or incarceration and are
2    instead linked with available appropriate community
3    services;
4        (2) include the option of on-site care if that type of
5    care is appropriate and does not override the care
6    decisions of the individual receiving care. Providing care
7    in the community, through methods like mobile crisis
8    units, is encouraged. If effective care is provided on
9    site, and if it is consistent with the care decisions of
10    the individual receiving the care, further transportation
11    to other medical providers is not required by this Act;
12        (3) recommend appropriate referrals for available
13    community services if the individual receiving on-site
14    care is not already in a treatment relationship with a
15    service provider or is unsatisfied with their current
16    service providers. The referrals shall take into
17    consideration waiting lists and copayments, which may
18    present barriers to access; and
19        (4) subject to the care decisions of the individual
20    receiving care, coordinate transportation for any
21    individual experiencing a mental or behavioral health
22    emergency to the most integrated and least restrictive
23    setting feasible. A mobile crisis response team may
24    provide transportation if the mobile crisis response team
25    is appropriately equipped and staffed to do so.
26    (b) Prioritize requests for emergency assistance. 9-1-1
		SB3798 Enrolled	- 54 -	LRB104 20700 WRO 34200 b
1PSAPs, emergency services dispatched through 9-1-1 PSAPs, and
2the mobile mental and behavioral health service established by
3the Department [Division of Mental Health] must provide guidance
4for prioritizing calls for assistance and maximum response
5time in relation to the type of emergency reported.
6    (c) Provide appropriate response times. From the time of
7first notification, 9-1-1 PSAPs, emergency services dispatched
8through 9-1-1 PSAPs, and the mobile mental and behavioral
9health service established by the Department [Division of ]
10[Mental Health] must provide the response within a response time
11appropriate to the care requirements of the individual with an
12emergency.
13    (d) Require appropriate mobile mental health relief
14provider training. Mobile mental health relief providers must
15have adequate training to address the needs of individuals
16experiencing a mental or behavioral health emergency. Adequate
17training at least includes:
18        (1) training in de-escalation techniques;
19        (2) knowledge of local community services and
20    supports;
21        (3) training in respectful interaction with people
22    experiencing mental or behavioral health crises, including
23    the concepts of stigma and respectful language;
24        (4) training in recognizing and working with people
25    with neurodivergent and developmental disability diagnoses
26    and in the techniques available to help stabilize and
		SB3798 Enrolled	- 55 -	LRB104 20700 WRO 34200 b
1    connect them to further services; and
2        (5) training in the involuntary commitment process, in
3    identification of situations that meet the standards for
4    involuntary commitment, and in cultural competencies and
5    social biases to guard against any group being
6    disproportionately subjected to the involuntary commitment
7    process or the use of the process not warranted under the
8    legal standard for involuntary commitment.
9    (e) Require minimum team staffing. The Department [Division ]
10[of Mental Health], in consultation with the Regional Advisory
11Committees created in Section 40, shall determine the
12appropriate credentials for the mental health providers
13responding to calls, including to what extent the mobile
14mental health relief providers must have certain credentials
15and licensing, and to what extent the mobile mental health
16relief providers can be peer support professionals.
17    (f) Require training from individuals with lived
18experience. Training shall be provided by individuals with
19lived experience to the extent available.
20    (g) Adopt guidelines directing referral to restrictive
21care settings. Mobile mental health relief providers must have
22guidelines to follow when considering whether to refer an
23individual to more restrictive forms of care, like emergency
24room or hospital settings.
25    (h) Specify regional best practices. Mobile mental health
26relief providers providing these services must do so
		SB3798 Enrolled	- 56 -	LRB104 20700 WRO 34200 b
1consistently with best practices, which include respecting the
2care choices of the individuals receiving assistance. Regional
3best practices may be broken down into sub-regions, as
4appropriate to reflect local resources and conditions. With
5the agreement of the impacted EMS Regions, providers of
6emergency response to physical emergencies may participate in
7another EMS Region for mental and behavioral response, if that
8participation shall provide a better service to individuals
9experiencing a mental or behavioral health emergency.
10    (i) Adopt a system for directing care in advance of an
11emergency. The Department [Division of Mental Health] shall
12select and publicly identify a system that allows individuals
13who voluntarily chose to do so to provide confidential
14advanced care directions to individuals providing services
15under this Act. No system for providing advanced care
16direction may be implemented unless the Department [Division of ]
17[Mental Health] approves it as confidential, available to
18individuals at all economic levels, and non-stigmatizing. The
19Department [Division of Mental Health] may defer this
20requirement for providing a system for advanced care direction
21if it determines that no existing systems can currently meet
22these requirements.
23    (j) Train dispatching staff. The personnel staffing 9-1-1,
243-1-1, or other emergency response intake systems must be
25provided with and complete adequate training to assess whether
26coordinating with 9-8-8 is appropriate that is tailored to 
		SB3798 Enrolled	- 57 -	LRB104 20700 WRO 34200 b
1their roles.
2    (k) Establish protocol for emergency responder
3coordination. The Department [Division of Mental Health] shall
4establish a protocol for mobile mental health relief
5providers, law enforcement, and fire and ambulance services to
6request assistance from each other, and train these groups on
7the protocol.
8    (l) Integrate law enforcement. The Department [Division of ]
9[Mental Health] shall provide for law enforcement to request
10mobile mental health relief provider assistance whenever law
11enforcement engages an individual appropriate for services
12under this Act. If law enforcement would typically request EMS
13assistance when it encounters an individual with a physical
14health emergency, law enforcement shall similarly dispatch
15mental or behavioral health personnel or medical
16transportation when it encounters an individual in a mental or
17behavioral health emergency.
18    (m) Mobile Crisis Response and 9-8-8 are both 
19around-the-clock crisis services that must be considered 
20alongside other crisis resources when initially screening an 
21individual contacting a 9-1-1 PSAP. Accordingly, when 
22indicated, 9-1-1 PSAPs shall open and use the relevant 
23emergency dispatch protocol to ensure all individuals 
24contacting a 9-1-1 PSAP when a behavioral health crisis is 
25indicated have access to a non-law enforcement, behavioral 
26health response and shall follow approved protocols and 
		SB3798 Enrolled	- 58 -	LRB104 20700 WRO 34200 b
1processes under this Act.
2    (n) PSAP telecommunicators, 9-8-8 crisis counselors, and 
3mobile mental health relief providers shall be provided with 
4and complete training necessary to support the implementation 
5of this Act that is tailored to their roles, as approved by the 
6Department or the Department's designee.
7    (o) 9-1-1 PSAPs, 9-8-8 providers, and mobile mental health 
8relief providers shall provide required data using the format 
9and data definitions specified by the Department. The 
10information may be used to evaluate implementation, monitor 
11compliance with this Act, and support improvement efforts.
12(Source: P.A. 103-105, eff. 6-27-23; 104-155, eff. 8-1-25;
13revised 12-12-25.)
14    (50 ILCS 754/30)
15    Sec. 30. State prohibitions. 9-1-1 PSAPs, emergency
16services dispatched through 9-1-1 PSAPs, and the mobile mental
17and behavioral health service established by the Department
18[Division of Mental Health] must coordinate their services so
19that, based on the information provided to them, the following
20State prohibitions are avoided:
21    (a) Law enforcement responsibility for providing mental
22and behavioral health care. In any area where mobile mental
23health relief providers are available for dispatch, law
24enforcement shall not be dispatched to respond to an
25individual requiring mental or behavioral health care unless
		SB3798 Enrolled	- 59 -	LRB104 20700 WRO 34200 b
1that individual is (i) involved in a suspected violation of
2the criminal laws of this State, or (ii) presents a threat of
3physical injury to self or others. Mobile mental health relief
4providers are not considered available for dispatch under this
5Section if 9-8-8 reports that it cannot dispatch appropriate
6service within the maximum response times established by each
7Regional Advisory Committee under Section 45.
8        (1) Standing on its own or in combination with each
9    other, the fact that an individual is experiencing a
10    mental or behavioral health emergency, or has a mental
11    health, behavioral health, or other diagnosis, is not
12    sufficient to justify an assessment that the individual is
13    a threat of physical injury to self or others, or requires
14    a law enforcement response to a request for emergency
15    response or medical transportation.
16        (2) If, based on its assessment of the threat to
17    public safety, law enforcement would not accompany medical
18    transportation responding to a physical health emergency,
19    unless requested by mobile mental health relief providers,
20    law enforcement may not accompany emergency response or
21    medical transportation personnel responding to a mental or
22    behavioral health emergency that presents an equivalent
23    level of threat to self or public safety.
24        (3) Without regard to an assessment of threat to self
25    or threat to public safety, law enforcement may station
26    personnel so that they can rapidly respond to requests for
		SB3798 Enrolled	- 60 -	LRB104 20700 WRO 34200 b
1    assistance from mobile mental health relief providers if
2    law enforcement does not interfere with the provision of
3    emergency response or transportation services. To the
4    extent practical, not interfering with services includes
5    remaining sufficiently distant from or out of sight of the
6    individual receiving care so that law enforcement presence
7    is unlikely to escalate the emergency.
8    (b) Mobile mental health relief provider involvement in
9involuntary commitment. Mobile mental health relief providers
10may participate in the involuntary commitment process only to
11the extent permitted under the Mental Health and Developmental
12Disabilities Code. The Department [Division of Behavioral ]
13[Health] shall, in consultation with each Regional Advisory
14Committee, as appropriate, monitor the use of involuntary
15commitment under this Act and provide systemic recommendations
16to improve outcomes for those subject to commitment.
17    (c) Use of law enforcement for transportation. In any area
18where mobile mental health relief providers are available for
19dispatch, unless requested by mobile mental health relief
20providers, law enforcement shall not be used to provide
21transportation to access mental or behavioral health care, or
22travel between mental or behavioral health care providers,
23except where (i) no alternative is available; (ii) the
24individual requests transportation from law enforcement and
25law enforcement mutually agrees to provide transportation; or
26(iii) the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code
		SB3798 Enrolled	- 61 -	LRB104 20700 WRO 34200 b
1requires or permits law enforcement to provide transportation.
2    (d) Reduction of educational institution obligations. The
3services coordinated under this Act may not be used to replace
4any service an educational institution is required to provide
5to a student. It shall not substitute for appropriate special
6education and related services that schools are required to
7provide by any law.
8    (e) This Section is operative beginning on the date the 3
9conditions in Section 65 are met or July 1, 2025, whichever is
10earlier.

13    (50 ILCS 754/35)
14    Sec. 35. Non-violent misdemeanors. The Department's
15[Division of Mental Health's] Guidance for 9-1-1 PSAPs and
16emergency services dispatched through 9-1-1 PSAPs for
17coordinating the response to individuals who appear to be in a
18mental or behavioral health emergency while engaging in
19conduct alleged to constitute a non-violent misdemeanor shall
20promote the following:
21        (a) Prioritization of Health Care. To the greatest
22    extent practicable, community-based mental or behavioral
23    health services should be provided before addressing law
24    enforcement objectives.
25        (b) Diversion from Further Criminal Justice
		SB3798 Enrolled	- 62 -	LRB104 20700 WRO 34200 b
1    Involvement. To the greatest extent practicable,
2    individuals should be referred to health care services
3    with the potential to reduce the likelihood of further law
4    enforcement engagement and referral to a pre-arrest or
5    pre-booking case management unit should be prioritized in
6    any areas served by pre-arrest or pre-booking case
7    management.

10    Sec. 40. Statewide Advisory Committee.
11    (a) The Department [Division of Mental Health] shall
12establish a Statewide Advisory Committee to review and make
13recommendations for aspects of coordinating 9-1-1 and the
149-8-8 mobile mental health response system most appropriately
15addressed on a State level.
16    (b) Issues to be addressed by the Statewide Advisory
17Committee include, but are not limited to, addressing changes
18necessary in 9-1-1 call taking protocols and scripts used in
199-1-1 PSAPs where those protocols and scripts are based on or
20otherwise dependent on national providers for their operation.
21    (c) The Statewide Advisory Committee shall recommend a
22system for gathering data related to the coordination of the
239-1-1 and 9-8-8 systems for purposes of allowing the parties
24to make ongoing improvements in that system. As practical, the
25system shall attempt to determine issues, which may include,
		SB3798 Enrolled	- 63 -	LRB104 20700 WRO 34200 b
1but are not limited to:
2        (1) the volume of calls coordinated between 9-1-1 and
3    9-8-8;
4        (2) the volume of referrals from other first
5    responders to 9-8-8;
6        (3) the volume and type of calls deemed appropriate
7    for referral to 9-8-8 but could not be served by 9-8-8
8    because of capacity restrictions or other reasons;
9        (4) the appropriate information to improve
10    coordination between 9-1-1 and 9-8-8;
11        (5) the appropriate information to improve the 9-8-8
12    system, if the information is most appropriately gathered
13    at the 9-1-1 PSAPs; and
14        (6) the number of instances of mobile mental health
15    relief providers initiating petitions for involuntary
16    commitment, broken down by county and contracting entity
17    employing the petitioning mobile mental health relief
18    providers and the aggregate demographic data of the
19    individuals subject to those petitions.
20    (d) The Statewide Advisory Committee shall consist of:
21        (1) the Statewide 9-1-1 Administrator, ex officio;
