Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024
(a) The County Mental Health Board shall:
1. Appoint
annually, members of its Professional Advisory Committee, minimally including a
representative from each mental health agency receiving financial support from
the Division. Two or more individuals connected with the same agency, either as
employee and/or board member, may serve simultaneously as members; in such
cases, however, it shall be the responsibility of the County Mental Health
Board to maintain a balance of representation, with no particular agency(ies)
operationally dominating the PAC. Membership of the Professional Advisory
Committee shall include the State and county psychiatric hospitals, the county
welfare board and the Division of Youth and Family Services. The PAC should
also include county criminal justice, Division of Mental Health Advocacy,
Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, Substance Abuse Programs, a Municipal
Welfare Board and the county mental health association.
i. Non-Division funded county welfare boards
and mental health associations may be represented on the County Mental Health
Board itself, rather than the PAC.
2. Approve rules and procedures for its
PAC;
3. Consult with its PAC on all
issues relating to professional aspects of mental health programs;
4. Actively involve the PAC in the
development of the annual county mental health services plan.
(b) All meetings of the PAC shall be open to the public, except those portions dealing with matters of patient/client confidentiality.
