Overview
This bill establishes procedures for how 9-1-1 calls are handled, specifically requiring call-takers to ask if the caller believes the emergency involves someone with an emotional or behavioral disorder. It also mandates that PSAPs and law enforcement agencies record details about such calls to help emergency responders understand the situation and potentially improve safety. The goal is to provide crucial context to first responders when dealing with individuals who may be experiencing a crisis.
