(a) The custodial C&Y agency is responsible for making a good faith effort to ensure that there is preplacement and postplacement planning for the MH/MR needs of children placed in other counties, and that these children receive needed MH/MR services in a timely manner. Each C&Y agency shall designate an individual whose job it is to carry out these functions (the C&Y intercounty coordinator). This function should be assigned to a single individual in the custodial county C&Y agency for out-of-county children to allow that person to develop the necessary expertise and contacts. Whenever a child who is known to need MH/MR services is to be placed out-of-county, the child shall be referred to the C&Y intercounty coordinator.

(b) Each MH/MR office will designate a lead person (MH/MR intercounty coordinator) to monitor the provision of MH/MR services to children placed outside their custodial county.
