Establishes procedures for intake and record keeping of certain 9-1-1 calls.
This bill requires 9-1-1 call centers (Public Safety Answering Points) to ask callers whether an emergency involves a person with an emotional or behavioral disorder. If the call center also handles dispatching emergency services (as a Public Safety Dispatch Point), it must then inform responding emergency personnel about this detail. The policy directly affects 9-1-1 operators and emergency response teams across New Jersey. It establishes a standardized intake procedure to provide dispatchers with additional context during calls, aiming to improve response coordination for specific medical emergencies. The bill does not alter funding, penalties, or service requirements beyond this new question-and-notification process.
