The Council shall address the integration of mental health in the health care system, including:

- helping to ensure the implementation of existing law to establish full integration within each member of the Council’s area of expertise;
- establishing commitments from non-state entities to adopt practices and implementation tools that further integration;
- proposing legislation where current statute is either inadequate to achieve full integration or where it creates barriers to achieving the principles of integration; and
- fulfilling any other duties the Council deems necessary to achieve its objectives.
