The supreme court may consider the council's recommendations in prescribing rules as provided in § 16-3-402 . (2) Prior to submitting its recommended rules to the supreme court, the council shall send a draft of its recommendation to the commission on children and youth. The commission shall distribute the draft to state agencies that, in the commission's opinion, may be affected by the recommended rules, and the commission will be responsible for accumulating and transmitting the comments of such agencies promptly to the council, so that the comments can be taken into account by the council in an orderly manner when preparing its final proposal of rules to be submitted to the supreme court. Thereafter, the commission shall present such accumulated comments to the court in such manner as the court may provide for receiving comment upon the proposed rules. (c) Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the council shall assist the council on children's mental health care in developing a plan that will establish demonstration sites in certain geographic areas where children's mental health care is child-centered, family-driven, and culturally and linguistically competent and that provides a coordinated system of care for children's mental health needs in this state.
