For legislation to create alternatives for community emergency services. Public Safety and Homeland Security.
AI Summary
This bill aims to create the Alternatives for Community Emergency Services Grant Program (A.C.E.S.) within the Executive Office of Health and Human Services. The program will provide grants to eligible partnerships between local governments and community-based organizations to develop non-law enforcement, unarmed community-based response options for 911 calls that do not require a law enforcement presence. The grants can be used for project planning, implementation, staffing, facilities, and various other activities related to the development and evaluation of these alternative emergency response systems. The bill also requires an independent evaluation of the program's effects on emergency room visits, use of ambulatory services, hospitalizations, and law enforcement involvement in mental health or substance use crisis events, among other outcomes.
