|
| | | | | | | | | Background: | In 2016, the Florida Legislature passed Senate Bill 12, which requires counties to develop and implement transportation plans that support the Designated Receiving System. This includes the circumstances to guide selection of the most appropriate transportation method (e.g. law enforcement, medical services or family/friends) to meet behavioral needs of persons in a crisis due to mental and/or substance use conditions. A completed transportation plan must be filed with the Florida Department of Children & Families no later than July 1, 2017.
The Nassau County Transportation Plan endorses the authority to transport persons in need of services under the Baker Act or Marchman Act to one of four receiving facilities. The plan shall be maintained and available to law enforcement and to first responders, per Florida Statute, 394.4573(2)(b). Attached is a draft of Nassau County's Transportation Plan for Board consideration. | | Request: | Approve the Nassau County Transportation Plan endorsing authority to transport persons in crisis due to mental and/or substance use conditions, as required by Florida Statute Chapter 394.462.
