advisory and coordination boards -- Role of KY-ASAP -- Local long-term
community strategy.

KY-ASAP shall establish in each county a local tobacco addiction and alcohol
and substance abuse advisory and coordination board to assist in planning,
overseeing, and coordinating the implementation of local programs related to
smoking cessation and prevention and alcohol and substance abuse
prevention, cessation, and treatment, although a single board may be
established for multiple counties to ensure a comprehensive range of services.
The board shall assist with the coordination of programs provided by public and
private entities. If the existing programs of private service providers are of high
quality, KY-ASAP shall concentrate on providing missing elements and support
for those providers. The Cabinet for Health and Family Services shall support
the communities' efforts.
KY-ASAP shall consult with community leaders to solicit the names of
residents from the community to serve on each advisory and coordination
board. KY-ASAP shall request from each board the submission of reasonable
reports on the effectiveness, efficiency, and efforts of each local program,
including recommendations for increased or decreased funding, and KY-ASAP
shall supply information as necessary to the advisory and coordination board to
enable it to carry out its functions.
KY-ASAP shall provide incentives to encourage multicounty advisory and
coordination board requests and shall establish a single board to represent all
counties making the request. Priority in establishing a board shall be given to
existing regional prevention centers or coalitions, community organizations, or
local Kentucky Incentives for Prevention (KIP) project coalitions. Membership
shall consist of residents from each of the counties.
Each advisory and coordination board shall develop a long-term community
strategy that is designed to reduce the incidence of youth and young adult
smoking and tobacco addiction, promote resistance to smoking, reduce the
incidence of substance abuse, and promote effective treatment of substance
abuse. All county resources, both private and public, for-profit and nonprofit,
shall be considered in developing this strategy.
(a) Employers, local leaders, schools, family resource and youth services
centers, health care providers and institutions, economic developers, and
other relevant local and regional entities shall be consulted in the
development of the strategy.
(b) An assessment of needs and available services shall be included in the
strategy.
