Each Regional Advisory Committee is responsible for designing the local protocol to allow its region’s 9-1-1 call center and emergency responders to coordinate their activities with 9-8-8 as required by this Act and monitoring current operation to advise on ongoing adjustments to the local protocol. Included in this responsibility, each Regional Advisory Committee must:
         (1) negotiate the appropriate amendment of each 9-1-1
    
PSAP emergency dispatch protocols, in consultation with each 9-1-1 PSAP in the EMS Region and consistent with national certification requirements;
        (2) set maximum response times for 9-8-8 to provide
    
service when an in-person response is required, based on type of mental or behavioral health emergency, which, if exceeded, constitute grounds for sending other emergency responders through the 9-1-1 system;
        (3) report, geographically by police district if
    
practical, the data collected through the direction provided by the Statewide Advisory Committee in aggregated, non-individualized monthly reports. These reports shall be available to the Regional Advisory Committee members, the Department of Human Service Division of Mental Health, the Administrator of the 9-1-1 Authority, and to the public upon request;
        (4) convene, after the initial regional policies are
    
established, at least every 2 years to consider amendment of the regional policies, if any, and also convene whenever a member of the Committee requests that the Committee consider an amendment; and
        (5) identify regional resources and supports for use
    
by the mobile mental health relief providers as they respond to the requests for services.
